I'm talking, I'm talking I believe in the power of love I'm singing, I'm singing I believe that you can rescue me With you I'm not a little girl With you I'm not a man When all the hurt inside of me Comes out, you understand You see that I'm ferocious You see that I am weak You see that I am silly And pretentious and a freak But I don't feel too strange for you Don't know exactly what you do I think when love is pure you try To understand the reasons why And I prefer this mystery It cancels out my misery And gives me hope that there could be A person that loves me Rescue me (rescue me, it's hard to believe) Your love has given me hope Rescue me (rescue me, it's hard to believe) I'm drowning Baby throw out your rope With you I'm not a fascist Can't play you like a toy And when I need to dominate You're not my little boy You see that I am hungry For a life of understanding And you forgive my angry little heart When she's demanding You bring me to my knees While I'm scratching out the eyes Of a world I want to conquer And deliver and despise And right while I am standing there I suddenly begin to care And understand that there could be A person that loves me Rescue me (rescue me, it's hard to believe) Your love has given me hope Rescue me (rescue me, it's hard to believe) I'm drowning Baby throw out your rope Love is understanding It's hard to believe Life can be so demanding I'm sending out an S.O.S. Stop me from drowning Baby I'll do the rest Rescue me (rescue me) Your love has given me hope (your love has given me hope) Rescue me (rescue me) I'm drowning Baby throw out your rope Rescue me (rescue me) Your love has given me hope (your love has given me hope) Rescue me (rescue me) I'm drowning Baby throw out your rope (baby throw out the rope) Ooh aah, ooh aah, love is understanding Ooh aah, ooh, aah love is understanding Love is understanding It's hard to believe Life can be so demanding I'm sending out an S.O.S. Rescue me, rescue me It's not my business to decide How good you are for me How valuable you are And what the world can see Only that you try to understand me And have the courage To love me for me I believe (I believe in the power) I believe (I believe that you can rescue me) I believe (I believe in the power) I believe (I believe that you can rescue me) I'm saying I believe (I believe in the power) I believe (I believe that you can rescue me) I'm saying, I'm saying, I'm saying, I believe that you can rescue me I'm talking, I'm talking, I believe in the power of love I'm talking, I'm talking, I believe in the power of love I'm singing, I'm singing I believe that you can rescue me Hey hey hey, R-E-S-C-U-E M-E, only you can rescue me Hey hey hey, I believe you can rescue me I believe in the power, I believe you can rescue me
