I noticed tonight that the world has been turning While I've been stood here tethering around Though I know I said I'd wait around till you need me I have to go, I hate to let you down But I can't stop now, I've got troubles of my own Cause I'm short on time, I'm lonely and I'm too tired to talk I noticed tonight that the world has been turning While I've been stuck here withering away Though I know I said I wouldn't leave you behind But I have to go, it breaks my heart to say But I can't stop now, I've got troubles of my own Cause I'm short on time, I'm lonely and I'm too tired to talk To no one back home, I've got troubles of my own And I can't slow down for no one in town And I can't stop now And I can't slow down for no one in town And I can't stop now for no one Emotion keeps my heart running Emotion keeps my heart running Emotion keeps my heart running Emotion keeps my heart running
