You've been out all night, that's right
Underneath your black umbrella
Halos round the lights, so bright
Like neon angels in the sky
But they don't fly

You walk by
This empty street
Your heart's too blind to see me
That's the price of being lonely

If you want real love,
If you think that you're tough enough
Take me on, take me on
If you wanna be turned around
If you wanna touch higher ground
For the love that you've been missin'
If you think that you're not strong,
Take me on

In a small cafe all day
Staring in a cup of coffee
Time just slips away
Smoking your last cigarette
With no regret

I say hello, you look away
There's a smile behind your face
There's something more between us
But you're heart's too scared to stay

If you want real love,
If you think that you're tough enough
Take me on, take me on
If you wanna be turned around
If you wanna touch higher ground
For the love that you've been missin'
If you think that you're not strong,
Take me on

There's a face in every window
A light goes out, and someone's alone, so alone
When they wake up in the morning, its another day
Another day gone

If you want real love,
If you think that you're tough enough
Take me on, take me on
If you wanna be turned around
If you wanna touch higher ground
For the love that you've been missin'
If you think that you're not strong,
Take me on

(Real love)
If you think that you're tough enough,
Take me on

If you wanna be turned around
If you wanna touch higher ground
For the tenderness you're missing
If you think that you're not strong,
Take me on
