I've been holdin' out
I've been hiding from the light
Sneakin' down the back streets
Sneakin' down the back streets

But no longer, can I hide my eyes
From the city night
And soon as love finds me I will go
No I won't, say no
As soon as love finds me (when it finds me)

I will go
Now I've had my share
Of one night affairs
When I was a little younger
(Just a little younger)

Well it wasn't love
But we really didn't care
It was close enough
And as soon as love finds me I will go
No I won't, say no

As soon as love finds me (when it finds me)
I will go
All my life I pretended
You know I'd go through the motions
It's never been love

It's always been wrong
It's gotta be right on time this time
I need deep devotion
It's gonna be real emotion
Or I refuse to love

I've been holdin' out
I've been hiding from the light
Sneakin' down the back streets
Sneakin' down the back streets
But no longer, can hide my eyes

From the city nights
And as soon as love finds me I will go
No I won't, say no
As soon as love finds me (Oh when it finds me)
I will go
I will go
