Blow Away (Live at the Capital Centre, Landover, MD, March 16, 1990)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A man and a woman come together as strangers When they part they're usually strangers still It's like a practical joke played on us by our maker Empty bottles that can't be filled [Chorus] Baby, who's to say it should have been different now that it's done (Baby, who's to say) Baby, who's to say it should have been anyway Baby, who's to say that it even matters in the long run (Baby, who's to say) Give it just a minute And it'll blow away, it'll blow away [Verse 2] You fancy me to be the master of your feelings You barely bruise me with your looks to kill I admit we were sometimes brutal in our dealings I never held you against your will [Chorus] Baby, who's to say it should have been different now that it's done (Baby, who's to say) Baby, who's to say it should have been anyway Baby, who's to say that it even matters in the long run (Baby, who's to say) Give it just a minute It'll blow away [Instrumental] [Verse 3] Your case against me is so very clearly stated I plead no contest, I just turn and shrug I've come to figure all importance overestimated You must mean water when you get on your knees and you beg me for blood [Chorus] Baby, who's to say it should have been different now that it's done (Baby, who's to say) Baby, who's to say it should have been anyway Baby, who's to say that it even matters in the long run (Baby, who's to say) Give it just a minute It'll blow away, it'll blow away [Outro] Like a feather in a whirlwind (Blow away) Just as surely as the world spins (Blow away) Oh, it'll blow away (Blow away) Ooh, it'll blow Give it just, give it just, give it just a little minute, baby Give it just, give it just, give it just a little minute now Oh, it'll blow away, yeah Oh, it'll blow, it'll blow, it'll blow, it'll blow away Hey, hey, oh, it'll blow, it'll blow away, hey Blow away it will Wait [Instrumental] Give it just a little second now Give me just one little piece of your time I don't wanna leave, I don't wanna stay I don't wanna, I don't wanna hear, man Just one little second of your time I got something to say I got something for you to hear So listen close, listen close Listen up, listen, listen, I want you to hear It's like you got your fist closed tight It's like you got blood right here in your fist And you're balling your fist close, tight to your chest It's like you wanna push it in, it's like you wanna push it in deep It's like you wanna push it deep inside It's like you wanna push it deep inside your heart, inside your heart Deep if you can It's like you wanna keep it in your heart It's like you wanna keep it there forever, never let it go Never let it go But where you think your rib cage is in yourself It's not gonna keep love in, maybe it'll keep love out But it won't keep it there Do you wanna know real love? Do you wanna know real love? Real love, real love, real love, keep it simple Real love you gon' hang on to Real love, you could let go, you could let it fly It comes right back to you, that's real love Real, real, real, real, real, real, real love Do me a favor, help me out, oh, come on and help me out Take that fist, and shove it in the air Take your fingers and open 'em up, open 'em up one at a time Who gives a shit, just open 'em up And let it breathe so long, let it breathe right now Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool breeze along Let it blow away Let it blow, let it blow, let it blow, let it blow away Let it blow, let it blow, let it blow away Real love, real love, go to real love, real love 'cause it's on its way Real love, real love, real, real love, real love is on its way It's on its way, it's on its way, it's on its way, it's on its way It's on, oh its way [Instrumental]
