With hand on heart, you right from the start You taught me to take my part No cross to bear, no reason to care My life was all up in air Four to the floor, I was sure Never seeing clear I could have it all Whenever you are near The iron hand did not understand The plight of the common man Four to the floor, I was sure Never seeing clear I could have it all Whenever you are near Four to the floor, I was sure That she would be my girl We'd rent a little world We'd have a little girl Four to the floor, I was sure Never seeing clear I could have it all Whenever you are near Four to the floor, I was sure That she would be my girl We'd rent a little world We'd have a little girl Four to the floor, I was sure Never seeing clear I could have it all Whenever you are near.
