Someone New (1984)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Guess I better come clean I was lying through my teeth You know that I was getting downright mean And you heard about enough Excuses from me to fill a magazine [Pre-Chorus] It was getting hard to sleep 'Cause my talk was only cheap (Talk was only cheap, whoa, oh) But you're gonna be surprised To hear me talking like I'm someone new Someone new (Someone new, whoa) [Verse 2] Was looking oh so cool But I done enough crying all alone to fill a king-size pool Guess I had to find out The hard way, baby, I was someone's fool [Pre-Chorus] It was getting hard to sleep Because my heart was on the street (On the street) You're gonna be surprised To find me looking like I'm someone new [Chorus] 'Cause baby, someone new Got a hold on me Someone new Took control for me And what I blew It won't be held against me Hey, baby, someone new Is looking out for me Someone who's Got real love for me But what's it to you? Are you gonna be the last to know? Are you gonna be the last to know? [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] You think you're gonna be good You think you're gonna try and save the world Like some modern-day Robin Hood (Who can save the world?) Guess you're gonna find out the hard way, babe There's only One that could (Only one, one that could, only one) [Pre-Chorus 3] It's getting too late to sleep Why don't you come in off that street? Don't you wanna be someone new? Someone new, too [Chorus 2] 'Cause baby, someone new Could take care of you Someone who's Got real love for you It's up to you what you gonna do, yeah Hey, baby, someone new Looking out for you Someone who's Gonna care for you But what's it to you? Are you gonna be the last to know? You don't want to be the last to know You could be someone new [Outro] Someone new Hey, someone new (Someone new's got real love for you) Hey, someone new (Someone new's got real love for you) Someone new, yeah (Someone new's got real love for you) Hey, someone new, yeah (Someone new's got real love for you) Well, someone new, yeah Hey, yeah (Someone new's got real love for you) Someone new to you (Someone new's got real love for you) Hey, someone new (Someone new's got real love for you) Hey, someone new
