Baby break it down
We've got a long way to go
Baby break it down
Baby break it down
We've got a long way to go
You're standing on your side
I'm standing on mine
It only needs one step
And you could be crossing the line
There's nothing between us
Or maybe too much
Whatever it is it's too fragile to touch
Baby break it down
Baby break it down
We got a long way to go
Baby break it down
Wrap your love around
Babe, you've got a long way to go
And who jumps the fences
And who builds the walls
Whoever takes chances must surely fall
Baby break it down
Baby break it down
Babe, you've got a long way to go
Baby break it down
You'll be safe and sound
You've got a long way to go
Babe, too far to go
Too far to go
There's no river running
That we can't cross
Does one or the other of us
Have to be the boss
Baby break it down
Rolling Stones - Baby break it down
Baby break it down
Babe, you've got a long way to go
Baby break it down
Wrap your love around
A long way to go
Baby break it down
Wrap your love around
Babe, you've got a long way to go
Baby break it down
Baby break it down
Long way to go
Long way to go
You've got a long way to
