Tell Me

I saw you last night
Again
Walkin' round downtown about half past ten.
I thought I'd
Pretend
I didn't see you looking at me but then
I couldn't fight it
Holdin' on to pride
It tore me up inside and
Even if I totally denied it
I feel so small.
I swear I didn't mean to do it
But then again I guess that you are used to it.
Tell me, tell me
Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when you're finally free?
Tell me, tell me
What you're gonna do
Whatcha gonna do when you finally
Open your eyes
You're finally above the clouds in the clear, blue skies?
Tell me, tell me
Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when you're finally
(W-w-whatcha gonna do when you're finally)
Scared, standing there
While a million people stare
Prepared to take glares, thinking they don't care
But there's
So many reasons to be hopeful again
Instead of living days, watching night beginning to end.
But you couldn't fight it
Holding on to pride
It tore you up inside and
Even if you totally denied it
You feel so small.
Oh, even though I know that you're used to it
I guess I'll never know how you do it.
Tell me, tell me
Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when you're finally free?
Tell me, tell me
What you're gonna do
Whatcha gonna do when you finally
Open your eyes
You're finally above the clouds in the clear, blue skies?
Tell me, tell me
Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when you're finally
Whatcha gonna do when you're finally
Oh, even if the night is cold
And even if the rain comes pouring down
You might think you're all alone
And no one wants you around
But that's not true
Cause we need you
And you'll never be on your own
As long as you know
This is your home
You're not going through this alone.
You're not that small...
Tell me, tell me
Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when you're finally free?
Tell me, tell me
What you're gonna do
Whatcha gonna do when you finally
Open your eyes
You're finally above the clouds in the clear, blue skies?
Tell me, tell me
Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when you're finally
Whatcha gonna do when you finally
