I've been holdin' out
I've been hiding from the light
Sneakin' down the back streets
Sneakin' down the backstreets
But no longer, can hide my eyes
From the city nights

And soon as love finds me I will go
No I won't, say no
As soon as love finds me (when it finds me)
I will go

Now I've had my share
Of one night affairs
When I was a little younger
(just a little younger)
Well it wasn't love
But we really didn't care
It was close enough

And soon as love finds me I will go
No I won't, say no
As soon as love finds me (when it finds me)
I will go

All my life I pretended ya know
I'd go through the motions
It's never been love
It's always been wrong, it's gotta be
Right on the time this time
I need, deep devotion
It's gonna be real emotion
Or I refuse to go
I've been holdin' out
I've been hiding from the light
Sneakin' down the back streets
Sneakin' down the backstreets
But no longer, can hide my eyes
From the city nights

And soon as love finds me I will go
No I won't, say no
As soon as love finds me (when it finds me)
I will go
I will go
