[English]
I was made the wrong wayWon't you do me the right way?
Where you gonna be tonight?
'Cause I won't stay too long
Maybe you're the light for me
When you talk to me, it strikes me
Won't somebody help me
'Cause I don't feel too strong?
Was it something that I said?
Was it something that I did?
Or the combination of both that did me in?
You know I'm hoping you'll sing along
Though it's not your favourite song
Don't wanna be the wind
There's nothing left to say
You know that some of us spin again
And when you do, you need a friend
Don't wanna be the wind
There's nothing left for me
And I hate the thought of finally being erased
But baby, that's the best of me
Everything's behind you
But the hopeless signs beside you
I'm living in the moment
Have I wasted all your time?
Was it something that I said?
Was it something that I did?
Or the combination of both that did me in?
You know I'm hoping you'll sing along
Though it's not your favourite song
Don't wanna be the wind
There's nothing left to say
You know that some of us spin again
And when you do, you need a friend
Don't wanna be the wind
There's nothing left for me
And I hate the thought of finally being erased
But baby, that's the best of me, yeah
Baby, that's the best of me
You know I'm hoping you'll sing along
Though it's not your favourite song
Don't wanna be the wind
There's nothing left to say
You know that some of us spin again
And when you do, you need a friend
Don't wanna be the wind
There's nothing left for me
And I hate the thought of finally being erased
But baby, that's the best of me
