You turn me on You lift me up Like the sweetest cup I'd share with you You lift me up Don't you ever stop, I'm here with you Now it's all or nothing 'Cause you say you'll follow through You follow me, and I, I, I follow you What you gonna do when things go wrong? What you gonna do when it all cracks up? What you gonna do when the love burns down? What you gonna do when the flames go up? Who is gonna come and turn the tide? What's it gonna take to make a dream survive? Who's got the touch to calm the storm inside? Who's gonna save you? Alive and kicking Stay until your love is Alive and kicking Stay 'til your love is Until your love is, alive Oh You lift me up To the crucial top, so I can see Oh you lead me on till the feelings come and the lights that shine on But if that don't mean nothing Like if someday it should fall through You'll take me home where the magic's from And I'll be with you What you gonna do when things go wrong? What you gonna do when it all cracks up? What you gonna do when the love burns down? What you gonna do when the flames go up? Who is gonna come and turn the tide? What's it gonna take to make a dream survive? Who's got the touch to calm the storm inside? Don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye In the final seconds who's gonna save you? Ooh oh, oh oh Alive and kicking Oh stay until your love is, love is Alive and kicking Ooh oh, oh oh Alive and kicking Oh stay until your love is, love is Alive and kicking Ooh oh Alive and kicking Stay until your love is Alive and kicking, oh Stay until your love is Alive and kicking, oh
