Lyrics

WORLDS APART

My kind of girl is a friend through good and bad
Who shares my every little up and down
My kind of girl knows that I laugh although I'm sad
And I can be a child although I'm grown
Some kinds of girl chew you up and spit you out
Never stop to even count the damage done
Some kinds of girl they can only scream and shout
Wanting just to know that they have won

I'm the kind of guy who ain't a-shamed to let you ask
About all the things that really get me down
This kind of guy doesn't hide behind a mask
Even if it means I have to be a-lone
Some kinds of guy like to preen and strut around
Not a care about the folk they brush aside
Those kinds of guy never listen for the sound
That's heralding the turning of the tide

If you know what's go-in' on please can you tell me
I want to know before it's gone so I can help you see

In my kind of world the days are bright the air is clean
And children walk the world and feel no fear
In my kind of world there's no hiding what you mean
And laughter is a common thing to hear
But in your kind of world people whimper whine and moan
They want much more than they can ever need
It's a sad kind of world where people feel much more alone
Sacrificing lives to feed the gods of greed

If you know what's go-in' on please can you tell me
(I never know what always seems to be going on
Is it that we?re really worlds apart)
I want to know before it's gone so I can help you see
(There?s got to be some answers lying somewhere hereabout
To let see right into each other?s heart)

Can?t we pull our worlds together or we won?t last too long
Hold my hand through stormy weather and we?ll be strong
