UB40 - Lisa Lyrics

Red light

I admire you from afar
You've changed the way I see
I used to think that I should
Make you be like me

But after this short time
Watching what you do
I realize that I
Should strive to be like you

Whenever I am near you
I tread so awkwardly
Afraid someone will steal you
I guard you jealously

Then sing the world your praises
Let everybody know
That I just saw the future
A place I want to go

I admire you from afar
You've changed the way I see
I used to think that I should
Make you be like me

But after this short time
Watching what you do
I realize that I
Should strive to be like you

I hear you when you're talking
Untouched simplicity
Alive with expectations
In search of what might be, yeah

I admire you from afar
You've changed the way I see
I used to think that I should
Make you be like me

But after this short time
Watching what you do
I realize that I
Should strive to be like you

Then sing the world your praises
Let everybody know
That I just saw the future
The place I want to go

I hear you when you're talking
Untouched simplicity
Alive with expectations
In search of what might be, yeah

Then sing the world your praises
Let everybody know
That I just saw the future
A place I want to go

I hear you when you're talking
Untouched simplicity
Alive with expectations
In search of what might be

Then sing the world your praises
Let everybody know
That I just saw the future
A place I want to go
