Wild Horses
Alicia Keys · Other Songs - Alicia Keys
Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted I bought them for you
Graceless lady, you know who I am
You know I can't let you slide through my hands
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away, oh oh
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I watched you suffer a dull aching pain
Now you decided to show me the same
No sweeping exits or offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind
Baby, wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie, oh
I have my freedom but I don't have much time
Faith has been broken, tears have been cried
Let's do some living before we die
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild horses couldn't drag me away, yeah
Wild horses, we will ride them some day, yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oh yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Wild horses
Wild horses
The things you wanted I bought them for you
Graceless lady, you know who I am
You know I can't let you slide through my hands
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away, oh oh
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I watched you suffer a dull aching pain
Now you decided to show me the same
No sweeping exits or offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind
Baby, wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie, oh
I have my freedom but I don't have much time
Faith has been broken, tears have been cried
Let's do some living before we die
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild horses couldn't drag me away, yeah
Wild horses, we will ride them some day, yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oh yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Wild horses
