Meat Loaf - For Crying Out Loud Lyrics

I was lost till you were found
And I never knew how far down
I was falling before
I reached the bottom

When I was cold and you were fire
And I never knew how the pyre
Could be burning on the edge
Of the ice field

And now the chilly California wind
Is blowing down our bodies again
And we're sinking deeper and deeper
In the chilly California sand

Oh I know you belong
Inside my aching heart
And can't you see my faded Levis
Bursting apart?

And don't you hear me crying
Oh babe don't go?
And don't you hear me screaming
How was I to know?

I'm in the middle of nowhere
Near the end of the line
But there's a border to somewhere waiting
And there's a tankful of time

Oh give me just another moment
To see the light of the day
And take me to another land where
I don't have to stay

And I'm gonna need somebody
To make me feel like you do
And I will receive somebody
With open arms, open eyes
Open up the sky and let the planet
That I love shine through

For crying out loud you know I love you
For crying out loud you know I love you
For crying out loud you know I love you

I was damned and you were saved
And I never knew how enslaved
I was kneeling there in the chains
Of my master

I could laugh ah but you could cry
And I never knew just how high
I was flying ah with you
Right above me

And now the chilly California wind
Is blowing down our bodies again
And we're sinking deeper and deeper
In the chilly California sand

Oh I know you belong
Inside my aching heart
And can't you see my faded Levis
Bursting apart?

And don't you hear me crying?
Oh babe don't go?
And don't you hear me screaming
How was I to know?

I'm in the middle of nowhere
Near the end of the line
But there's a border to somewhere waiting
And there's a tankful of time

Oh give me just another moment
To see the light of the day
And take me to another land where
I don't have to stay


And I'm gonna need somebody
To make me feel like you do
And I will receive somebody
With open arms, open eyes
Open up the sky and let the planet
That I love shine through

For crying out loud you know I love you
For crying out loud you know I love you
Oh for crying out loud you know I love you
For crying out loud you know I love you

Taking in the rain when I'm feeling so dry
For giving me the answers when I'm asking you why?
And my oh my
For that I thank you

For taking in the sun when I'm feelin' so cold
For giving me a child when my body is old
And don't you know
For that I need you

For coming to my room when you know I'm alone
For finding me a highway for driving me home
And you gotta know
For that I serve you

For pulling me away when I'm starting to fall
For revvin' me up when I'm starting to stall
And all in all
For that I want you

For taking and for giving
And for playing the game
For praying for my future in the days that remain
Oh Lord for that I hold you

Ah but most of all for crying out loud
For that I love you
Ah but most of all for crying out loud
For that I love you
Ah but most of all for crying out loud
For that I love you

When you're crying out loud
You know I love you
