She got out of town On the railway New York bound Took all except my name Another alien on Broadway There`s some things in this world You just can`t change Some things you can`t see Until it gets too late
And Baby, baby, baby When all your love is gone Who will save me From all I`m up against out in this world and maybe, maybe, maybe You`ll find something That`s enough to keep you But if the bright lights don`t receive you You should turn yourself around And come on home
I got a hole in me now Yeah, I got a scar I can talk about She keeps a picture of me In her apartment in the city Some things in this world Man, they don`t make sense Some things you don`t need Until they leave you And they`re things that you miss, you say
Baby, baby, baby When all your love is gone Who will save me
From all I`m up against out in this world and Maybe, maybe, maybe You`ll find something That`s enough to keep you But if the bright lights don`t receive you You should turn yourself around And come on home
Let that city take you in, come on home Let that city spit you out, come on home Let that city take you down, yeah For God sakes turn around
Baby, baby, baby When all your love is gone Who will save me From all I`m up against in this world
Now well, Maybe, maybe, maybe You`ll find something That`s enough to keep you But if the bright lights don`t receive you, well
Turn yourself around, girl Come on home Yeah, come on home Baby, baby, baby, baby Come on home Yeah, come on home Yeah, come on home Yeah, come on home Baby, baby, baby, baby Come on home

Matchbox Twenty - Bright Lights
She got out of town
On the railway New York bound
Took all except my name
Another alien on Broadway
There`s some things in this world
You just can`t change
Some things you can`t see
Until it gets too late
And Baby, baby, baby
When all your love is gone
Who will save me
From all I`m up against out in this world
and maybe, maybe, maybe
You`ll find something
That`s enough to keep you
But if the bright lights don`t receive you
You should turn yourself around
And come on home
I got a hole in me now
Yeah, I got a scar I can talk about
She keeps a picture of me
In her apartment in the city
Some things in this world
Man, they don`t make sense
Some things you don`t need
Until they leave you
And they`re things that you miss, you say
Baby, baby, baby
When all your love is gone
Who will save me
From all I`m up against out in this world
and Maybe, maybe, maybe
You`ll find something
That`s enough to keep you
But if the bright lights don`t receive you
You should turn yourself around
And come on home
Let that city take you in, come on home
Let that city spit you out, come on home
Let that city take you down, yeah
For God sakes turn around
Baby, baby, baby
When all your love is gone
Who will save me
From all I`m up against in this world
Now well, Maybe, maybe, maybe
You`ll find something
That`s enough to keep you
But if the bright lights don`t receive you, well
Turn yourself around, girl
Come on home
Yeah, come on home
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Come on home
Yeah, come on home
Yeah, come on home
Yeah, come on home
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Come on home
