Wanna keep you from breakin
  wanna keep you from shakin
  wanna keep you from keepin
  you down
    Wanna keep you from sinkin
  wanna keep you from drinkin
  sometimes
  Wanna keep you from keepin
  you down
    Ringing in my head
  All the things you've said
  All the things you've done
  I wish I could compromise
  but theres only one way to go
  and im goin alone
    Im goin alone
    your self-help book shelf is full now
  your pictures are about to be pulled down
  without regard for a broken heart
  its another year
    ringing in my head
  all the things you've said
  all the things you've done
  i wish i could compromise
  but theres only one way to go
    Wanna be with you tonight
  Wanna be with you tonight

  wanna see your eyes wide not so shut
  completely cool dont stop keep up
  livin in the city, cuz your dyin if you dont
  got a grip take a sip from my monoton monk
  wanna keep you from keepin you down
  pick yourself up off the ground
    wanna keep you from keepin you down
  come on girl
  ringing in my head
  all the things you've said
  all the things you've done
    I wish i could compromise
  I wish i could close my eyes
  and somehow make it
  all alright
  but i know thers only one way to go
    Miss the way that you shock-shock-shock me

  livin in the city, cuz your dyin if you dont
  got a grip take a sip from my monoton monk
  wanna keep you from keepin you down
