the world and his wife 
know it's a compromise 
there are good times 
and bad times in your life 
thought I knew it all 
thought I'd take my chance 
to leave home 

but things went not as well 
as I thought they would 
and soon my life 
became a living hell 
I wanted it to end 
thought I'd take my chance 
to let go 
some say yes 
some say no 

I had my back against the wall 
no-one I could call 
then you came into my life 
boy, you made me feel alive 
we'd been talking all night long 
you showed me what went wrong 
and much to my surprise 
you killed my alibis 
when I had my back against the wall 

day after day 
there's a storm of problems coming after me 
then I know it's hard to see 
there's another way 
guess I never opened up my heart 
but now I'm ready for a new start 

I had my back against the wall 
no-one I could call 
then you came into my life 
boy, you made me feel alive 
we'd been talking all night long 
you showed me what went wrong 
and much to my surprise 
you killed my alibis 
when I had my back against the wall 

life is not that hard 
when you find someone to show you the way 
listen to your heart 
a little love goes a long way 
to chase the blues away
