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

[Chorus]

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 kneeling there

I suddenly begin to care

And understand that there could be

A person that loves me

[Chorus]

Love is understanding

Its 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 [echo]

Your love has given me hope (your love has given me hope)

Rescue me [echo]

I'm drowning, baby throw out your rope (baby throw out your rope)

[Repeat]

Ooh ahh, ooh ahh, love is understanding

Ooh ahh, ooh ahh, 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

[Background vocals, continuously for remainder of song]

I believe in the power, I believe you can rescue me

I believe (I believe in the power)

I believe that you can rescue me

[Repeat]

I'm singing I believe

I believe that you can rescue me

I'm singing, I'm singing, I'm singing

I believe that you can rescue me

I'm talking, I'm talking

I believe in the power of love

[Repeat]

I'm singing, I'm singing, I believe

I believe that you can rescue me

Hey hey, hey hey

R.e.s.c.u.e. me

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)
