Lyrics - You Take Me Up by Thompson Twins

I work on the frontline
I work to survive
And
I sleep in a fever - so this is my life.
I cry in my sleep - cry boycry boy
It just makes me weepwhen
I try how
I try.
I know what it means to work hard on machines.
It's a labour of loveso pleasedon't ask me why.
I'm looking for reasons - day inday out.
I'm trying too hard - he's trying too hard.
I'm moving in circles - too hottoo hot.
Don't get very far - don't get very far.
Should
I ask she to dance - dance boydance boy.
If
I promise romancewill you come for the ride.
I know what it meansto work hard on machines.
Do you believe in love one that lasts for all time.
You take me upoh hoyou take me up to the higher ground.
You take me up so highnow
I never want to come back down
I'm glad in these hard times - day inday out.
There's hope in your eyes - hope in his eyes.
I don't need a religion - too hottoo hot.'
Cause this love never dies - love never dies.
I believe in today - believe boybelieve boy.
It's better that way and you work through the night.
I know what it meansto work hard on machines.
It's a labour of loveso pleasedon't ask me why.
You take me upoh hoyou take me up to the higher ground. . .
I cry in my sleep - cry boycry boy. . . .
You take me upoh hoyou take me up to the higher ground. . .
You take me up. oh ho. you take me up to the higher ground. . .
