It hurts me when you cry
When you feel the love is gone
Don't give up on us
When you got so much to believe in
And I beg you please stay
Strangers in the night
A flame that never dies
In a world of lonely faces
You need someone to survive
A heart like yours
Should never live alone

[Chorus:]
Let me be your bodyguard
I can be useful to you
We can just get excited
Stop before we go too far
Let me be your bodyguard
Living in my protection
We can just get ignited
Lost inside
It's only you and me

There's things you shouldn't do
You lose your self control
Should the eyes of a perfect stranger
Take you down to a new sensation
Just turn back to me
Don't wait till its gone
Don't go where you don't belong
In this world of pain and sorrow
Every wish is your command
A heart like yours
Should always find a home

I know the signs and I'm telling you
You're living on borrowed time
But a heart needs love
Like a flower needs rain
Like I'm making you mine

Let me be your bodyguard
I can be useful to you
We can just get excited
Stop before we go too far, my love, my life
Let me be your bodyguard
Living in my protection
We can just get ignited
What we had never known all our lives
I pray its not too late
I would die by your side my love
I'm the life that you save
In this world of pain and sorrow
Every wish is your command
A heart like yours should never live alone

I used to dream of a special one
And now I feel it coming true
But I could'nt let go, I'm a jealous guy
What you're putting me through
I'm begging you

Let me be your bodyguard
I can be useful to you
We can just get excited
Stop before we go too far my love, my life
Let me be your bodyguard
Living in my protection
We can just get ignited
Stop before we go too far

Stop before we go too far my love, my life
Stop before we go too far my love, my life

Let me be your bodyguard
I can be useful to you
We can just get excited
Stop before we go too far my love, my life
Let me be your bodyguard
Living in my protection
We can just get ignited
Stop before we go too far, my love, my life

Let me be your bodyguard
I can be useful to you
We can just get excited
Stop before we go too far

Bee Gees

The Bee Gees were a musical group founded in 1958. The group's line-up consisted of brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb. The trio were successful for most of their decades of recording music, but they had two distinct periods of exceptional success: as a pop act in the late 1960s/early 1970s, and as prominent performers of the disco music era in the late 1970s. The group sang three-part tight harmonies that were instantly recognisable; Robin's clear vibrato lead was a hallmark of their earlier hits, while Barry's R&B falsetto became their signature sound during the late 1970s and 1980s. The brothers wrote all of their own hits, as well as writing and producing several major hits for other artists. more »
