LYRICS
I Can't Stop
(Single from 'Strenge Charm' album, 1986)
I've been there and seen it
I've been up and down
And I've been fighting for so long now
I can't stop for all your stories
I can't stop for all you young hearts
Been up on the power
Been down and ashamed
I'm sure I'm guilty of some things now
I'm back and I'm proven
I'm back and I'm strong
And I've been waiting for so long now
