I was a mixed up child, I'd cry
Always feeling thirsty
To drink some neighbour's fountain dry
Ever since my birthday
Forever dreaming up ideals
Always painting pictures
Of where I'm going, never knowing
When being too ambitious
But if you wanna love me, please do
If you wanna hold me - why
That would be something
Something real
Just give me a green light
Now I'm a lonely guy, if only
I could feel completed
And those who know me say I'm slowly
Becoming a defeatist
But if you wanna love me, please do
If you wanna hold me - why
That would be something
Something real
Just give me a green light
If you wanna love me - well
If you wanna hold me - why
That would be something
Something real
Just give me a green light
Come clip my wings with a lover's touch
Show me satisfaction
Lock me to the rails insomuch
As I can channel in this passion
But if you wanna love me, please do
If you wanna hold me - why
That would be something
Something real
Just give me a green light
