Making Waves

Status Quo · Under The Influence [1999]

When I was a young boy nothing much mattered to me

You were a girl and a half and you saw yourself a mystery

We got together for a while, I did everything you wanted me to

Well I tried and you lied, I was left here back in the blue



If you're gonna run, are you gonna run today?

Is it because I'm out on the road?

You never had it good, you never had it anyway

More more more making waves



I was always right there when you wanted to play

You were living in a scene from a dream every night and day

And I never found a way to make it better for you

Oh I tried and I tried but you left me back in the blue



If you're gonna run, are you gonna run today?

Is it because I'm out on the road?

You never had it good, you never had it anyway

More more more making waves



What you gonna do now? Nothing left, nothing to say

Well I must have been a fool to believe in you anyway

When I tried to find a way or something that I could do

You threw it all in my face and you left me back in the blue



If you're gonna run, are you gonna run today?

Is it because I'm out on the road?

You never had it good, you never had it anyway

More more more making waves



If you're gonna run, are you gonna run today?

Is it because I'm out on the road?

You never had it good, you never had it anyway

More more more making waves
