Lift Me Up
Backstreet Boys · Other Songs - Backstreet Boys
Liftin' me up, me up, me up, me up
When I 'm down on my luck and I 'm searching for my soul
When I 'm feeling too much and I start to lose control
When I'm down so low that even enemies don't wanna know
You still care for me, say a prayer for me, and I know
Oooh, I like you hangin' around
'Cause you lift me up when I am upside down
Oooh, you are my favorite sound
'Cause you're always down for
Lifting me up like an angel when I hit the ground
Feel your arms all around me when I 'm feeling down
Lift me up like an angel when I hit my low
When your arms are around me
I don't wanna let you go
Lift me up, me up
Let you go now
Lift me up, me up
When I 'm lost along the way and I can't face another day
And if I stumble on the road and if I can't carry the load
And if I lose my faith, and kindness, and generosity
Would you hold my hand?
Say you understand my pain
Oooh, I like you hangin' around
'Cause you lift me up when I am upside down
Oooh, you are my favorite sound
'Cause you 're always down for
Lifting me up like an angel when I hit the ground
Feel your arms all around me when I 'm feeling down
Lift me up like an angel when I hit my low
When your arms are around me
I don't wanna let you go
It 's been a long hard road, and it 's only just begun, my friend
And this I know
You helped me carry the load
'Cause you're always down for
Lifting me up like an angel when I hit the ground
Feel your arms all around me when I 'm feeling down
Lift me up like an angel when I hit my low
Well, you're always around
You 're my favorite sound
Lift me up like an angel when I hit the ground
Feel your arms all around me when I 'm feeling down
Lift me up like an angel when I hit my low
When your arms are around me
I don't wanna let you go
I don't wanna let you go
'Cause you lift me up now
Well, you're always around..
You 're my favorite sound
Lift me up now
You lift me up
Lift me up now
Yeah, you're always around
You're my favorite sound
Lift me up
