We've been rolling like thunder
Ain't been no other
Got my back the way you do babe
And every day it gets stronger
The way that I want you
I can't push it away

And everyday I'm trying to find the words, the words to say
I'm trying not to complicate the games we play
And I don't know how or when but things have got to change
Now my heart sings out so loud
Boy, I need you now
I need you now

Oh you, you got me caught in the middle
You got me caught in the middle
With you, my heart and my head oh
I don't need that, you don't need that, we don't need that
But I'm caught in the middle
Oh yeah, I'm caught in the middle
Don't wanna fall out of rhythm
I don't need that, you don't need that, we don't need that

You got the eye of the tiger 
an unending fire
And it's calling me home

And everyday I'm trying to find the words, the words to say
I'm trying not to complicate the games we play
And I don't know how or when but things have got to change
Now my heart sings out so loud
Boy, I need you now

Oh you, you got me caught in the middle
You got me caught in the middle
With you, my heart and my head oh
I don't need that, you don't need that, we don't need that
But I'm caught in the middle
Oh yeah, I'm caught in the middle
Don't wanna fall out of rhythm
I don't need that, you don't need that, we don't need that

I don't wanna escape
Got me trapped in the love we make
Now I gotta be straight, oh oh oh oh oh
So before it's too late
It's a risk that I wanna take
Tell me do you feel it too?

Oh you, you got me caught in the middle
You got me caught in the middle
With you, my heart and my head oh
I don't need that, you don't need that, we don't need that
But I'm caught in the middle
Oh yeah, I'm caught in the middle
Don't wanna fall out of rhythm
I don't need that, you don't need that, we don't need that
