For Crying Out Loud Songtext
von Jim Steinman

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

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 Californian wind
Is blowing down our bodies again
And we′re sinking deeper and deeper
In the chilly Californian sand
Oh I know you belong inside my aching heart
And can't you see my faded Levi′s 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 in the chains of my master

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


And now the chilly Californian wind
Is blowing down our bodies again
And we′re sinking deeper and deeper
In the chilly Californian sand
Oh I know you belong inside my aching heart
And can′t you see my faded Levi's 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
For crying out loud
You know I love you

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

For pulling me away when I'm starting to fall
For revving me up when I′m starting to stall
And all in all for that I'll want you

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