Calm Inside The Storm

Performed by Cyndi Lauper, music by Cyndi Lauper, Rick Derringer. Note from the transcriptor: there're some differences between the booklet words (inside "{ }") and what is actually sung.


I can get up
on the right side of the bed
  
but that don't stop the rain {but that won't stop the rain}
from coming down on my head
I can leave my life
playing hide and seek
but when I look inside
it's hard to make believe,
ah-ha, u-u-ha
'n lately
you seem so far away
I wish I could say something
but I don't know what to say
I can feel your eyes
I don't have to look at you
boy discontentment
is-a-sneakin' through

*   You never really want anything
but what you really need is everything
I'll give you something only life can bring
the Calm inside the storm
love me a little, love me long
oh-wo, wo yeah
the calm inside the storm
love me a little, love me long

ah-ah

Don't you know
you should be holding me
but you're all locked inside
why don't you throw me your keys
I'm like a rockin' ship
on your rollin' sea
you know crashin' down the lightnin' {you know crash lightnin'}

never frightens me, nah, nah

[repeat *]

... you never really wanted
but what u really needed
I wanna give u something

mmm...

yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah

You never really want anything
but what you really need is everything
I'll give you something only life can bring
the Calm inside the storm
love me a little, love me long
oh-wo, wo yeah
but what you really need is everything
I'll give you something only life can bring
the Calm inside the storm
love me a little, love me long
oh-wo, wo yeah
the calm inside the storm
love me a little, love me long

oh-wo, wo-wo, wo-ho-oh

the calm inside the storm
love me along, love me long
