I was made the wrong way 00:15
Won't you do me the right way? 00:18
Where you gonna be tonight? 00:20
'Cause I won't stay too long 00:25
Maybe you're the light for me 00:28
When you talk to me, it strikes me 00:29
Won't somebody help me 00:29
'Cause I don't feel too strong? 00:30
Was it something that I said? 00:30
Was it something that I did? 00:32
Or the combination of both that did me in? 00:35
You know I'm hoping you'll sing along 00:42
Though it's not your favourite song 00:45
Don't wanna be the wind 00:48
There's nothing left to say 00:51
You know that some of us spin again 00:56
And when you do, you need a friend 00:59
Don't wanna be the wind 01:03
There's nothing left for me 01:05
And I hate the thought of finally being erased 01:11
But baby, that's the best of me 01:16
Everything's behind you 01:32
But the hopeless signs beside you 01:35
I'm living in the moment 01:39
Have I wasted all your time? 01:42
Was it something that I said? 01:46
Was it something that I did? 01:49
Or the combination of both that did me in? 01:53
You know I'm hoping you'll sing along 01:59

Don't wanna be the wind 02:06
There's nothing left to say 02:08
You know that some of us spin again 02:14

Don't wanna be the wind 02:20
There's nothing left for me 02:22
And I hate the thought of finally being erased 02:28
But baby, that's the best of me, yeah 02:33
Baby, that's the best of me 02:41
You know I'm hoping you'll sing along 02:49
Though it's not your favourite song 02:52
Don't wanna be the wind 02:55

[English]

I was made the wrong way
Won'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
