"Emotional Rescue" lyrics

Emotional Rescue

Is there nothing I can say
Nothing I can do
To change your mind?
I'm so in love with you

You're too deep in
You can't get out
You're just a poor girl
In a rich man's house

Yeah
Baby, I'm crying
Over you

Don't you know promises
Were never made to keep?
Just like the night
Dissolve in sleep
I'll be your savior
Steadfast and true
I'll come to your
Emotional rescue
I'll come to your
Emotional rescue

Yeah
The other night
Crying
Crying, baby, yeah
Yeah, I'm crying
Yeah, I'm like a child, baby
I'm like a child, baby
Child
Yeah, I'm like a child
Like a child
Like a child

You think you're one
Of a special breed
You think that you're
His pet Pekinese
I'll be your savior
Steadfast and true
I'll come to your
Emotional rescue
I'll come to your
Emotional rescue

Yeah, I was dreaming last night
Last night
I was dreaming
How you'd be mine
But I was crying
Like a child
Yeah, I was crying
Crying like a child

You will be mine, mine, mine
Mine, mine, all mine
You could be mine
Could be mine
Be mine, all mine

I come to you
So silent in the night
So stealthy
So animal quiet
I'll be your savior
Steadfast and true
I'll come to your
Emotional rescue
I'll come to your
Emotional rescue

Yeah
You should be mine
Mine, whew
Yes, you could be mine
Tonight and every night
I will be your knight in shining armour
Coming to your emotional rescue

You will be mine
You will be mine, all mine
You will be mine
You will be mine, all mine

I will be your knight
In shining armour
Riding across the desert
With a fine Arab charger
