Breakaway - Toni Basil

Da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da Da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da Grew up in a small town, and when the snow would fall down I'd just stare out my window Dreamin' of what could be, and if I'd end up happy I would pray Tryin' hard to reach out, but when I tried to speak out Felt like no one could hear me Wanted to belong here, but somethin' felt so wrong here So I prayed I could break away I'll spread my wings, and I'll learn how to fly I'll do what it takes 'til I touch the sky And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And break away Out of the darkness and into the sun I won't forget all the ones that I love I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change And break away Da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da I wanna feel the warm breeze, sleep under a palm tree Feel the rush of the ocean Get onboard, a fast train, travel on a jet plane Far away and break away I'll spread my wings, and I'll learn how to fly I'll do what it takes 'til I touch the sky And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And break away Out of the darkness and into the sun (into the sun) I won't forget all the ones that I love I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change And break away Buildings with a hundred floors, swingin' 'round revolvin' doors Maybe I don't know where they'll take me But gotta keep movin' on, movin' on Fly away, break away And I'll spread my wings, and I'll learn how to fly (learn how to fly) Though, it's not easy to tell you goodbye I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change And break away Out of the darkness and into the sun (into the sun) But I won't forget the place where I come from I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change And break away Break away Break away

It's a chemical attraction I just can't slide by Every time I look into my baby's eyes I'm helpless, so helpless, so I surrender There's a visual attraction and she's branded my soul Simply can't deny it, she has control I'm helpless, so helpless, so I remember She won't let me breakaway She won't let me breakaway I said break away, yeah, ah yeah We were working it though, baby we had a groove Movin' to the moment when we make our move But it happened, something happened And I'm not lying 'bout the pain She won't let me breakaway She won't let me breakaway I said breakaway, yeah, oh yeah I want the answer, I want my soul I'm dealing with a feeling deeper in love But I'm helpless, so helpless, but I remember She keeps saying breakaway Something's saying breakaway Telling me to breakaway Keeps on saying breakaway
