Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Sometimes I think Things are overwhelming Sometimes I think I don't know what I'll do But I forget the world And everything around me That's what I think When I think about you The streets are filled With too many babies Black air in a sky of blue People pass by No life in their eyes The concrete jungle's Really going crazy Sometimes I think Things are overwhelming... The rent is due And the pockets are empty People ask machines For the truth No crystal ball Can help see it all But where we gonna find The dreams to feed the babies Baby life goes on That's what people say But I'm nowhere If you go away I'd just be looking For a brighter day Sometimes I think Things are overwhelming... What can I do Forget about the world And everything around me That's what I think When I think about you
