lyrics

Gonna See This Through

Baby when I met you it was peace on Earth,
Now I’m wondering what all this trouble’s worth
And how it came to me.
But I know what I’ll do; I’m gonna see this through.

Baby when I met you there was something about,
Your jeans & hair, your laugh, you know you knocked me out.
I’m still down for the count.
But I know what I’ll do; I’m gonna see this through.

CHORUS:
You say every night, you think I’m crazy and you’re right
I’m crazy for the love of you.
I’ll close every light and still you will light up the night
Oh darling, I’m crazy for you.

Baby when I met you I was looking for fun,
I wasn’t looking for this marathon run but ohhhh,
No finish line for you.
But I know what I’ll do; I’m gonna see this through.

Baby when you love me you can set me free,
Yet other times it’s more like, World War 3.
The button’s in my hand.
But I know what I’ll do; I’m gonna see this through.

- CHORUS -

You ask for flowers and I give you the rain,
You say you’re sorry but I’m feeling the pain
And still, we battle on.
But I know what I’ll do; I’m gonna see this through.

5, 10, 20, 30, 50 or more,
I don’t care, I’m still knocking at your door.
You gonna let me in(?)
I’ve gotta do what I do; I’m gonna see this through.
You gotta do what you do; You gotta see this through.
We gotta do what we do; We’ve got to see this through.
