Standing in the Line of Fire Songtext
von Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul

Tried my best, baby
Gave all I had inside
Now I′m standing in the shadow
The place where dreams come to die
For just one moment, baby
Had it all in my hands
I think it's time I discovered
Just what′s left of this man

And baby, I'm standing in the line of fire
I ain't running from the fight this time
Standing in the line of fire
There ain′t nothing gonna change my mind


Oh yeah
Finally, my friends are all gone (Friends are all gone)
Feel like I′m starting all over
And it hurts after working so long
Looking at your face, baby
Makes me think about everything I wanted (Everything I wanted)
It's something I can′t get used to
I wanted it so badly for you

And baby, I'm standing in the line of fire
I ain′t running from the fight this time
Standing in the line of fire
There ain't nothing gonna change my mind

Hold me, girl
A little bit tighter now
Maybe if we try together, baby
We can get off this merry-go-round
I learned something, baby
What a lucky man I am (Lucky man I am)
There′ll be good times, there'll be bad times
Count your friends on one hand

And baby, I'm standing in the line of fire
I ain′t running from the fight this time (I ain′t running, baby)
Standing in the line of fire (No, no)
There ain't nothing gonna change my mind


Standing in the line of fire
I ain′t running from the fight this time
Standing in the line of fire (Oh)
There ain't nothing gonna change my mind
(Nothing gonna change my mind)
There ain′t nothing gonna change my mind (Nothing, baby)
There ain't nothing gonna change my mind
(Nothing gonna change my mind)
There ain′t nothing gonna change my mind
(No, no, no, no, no, no, oh no, oh no)
