People trying to feel him
He was always running and it kept him thin
Lost bull in a china shop
Gathering momentum and he could not stop
Branded so all the girls could see
Don’t trust what this animal will make you believe
You had me down, you had me down
Never around, always in town
You had me down, you had me down
As a cheat and lie and stealer of all that’s good in your life
But you never saw life ‘til I saw you tonight
He’s so incredibly right
I bet you can’t wait to spend the rest of your life
With him in his arms
He’ll be you private angel, be your lucky charm
Red rags no longer fan the flames
The matador was mauled the day you saved his name
You had me down, you had me down
Never around, always in town
You had me down, you had me down
As a cheat and lie and stealer of all that’s good in your life
But you never saw life ‘til I saw you tonight
They don’t want you to know
There’s goodness here in my bones
You can’t disguise this feeling
That I might lose control
They didn’t let me breathe
Made a maze for me underneath
So I pushed hard at the ceiling
And broke in all the eaves
No rings made of gold
No promises ‘til we’re old
In proof you’ll appealing
In proof you’ll see me grow
You had me down
