i might act real cool 
pretend i know the rules 
but that is no excuse 
so lift me up again 
and feel the same 
all i can say 
well it feels great 
you won’t regret 
lift me up again 
lift me up again 
still i act real cool 
pretend i know the rules 
so there must be some use 

for all the grey that’s you 
for what i am to do 
to make you feel the same 
to lift me up again 

i still act real cool 
to combine the blue 
with all the grey that’s you 
and mix the colours right 
the ones you like 
with shades i find 
i’ll fade your grey as soon as i 
lift it up again 
lift it up again 
so i act real cool 
pretend i know the rules 
‘cause that’s all i can do 

‘bout all the grey that’s you 
and what i am to do 
to make you feel the same 
to lift me up again
