Lyrics The Line - Lisa Stansfield

Hmm
Ah
Na-na-na-na-na-na

I look at the sky to where my future's lying
And I almost start to cry
Blinded by the sun, I'm trying to hold onto
The very last of precious time

Then I start to thinking, what a mess we're making
And it won't get better by and by
Well, we can paint it up and make it pretty
But we cannot overstep the line, no, no

We cannot overstep (no, no)
We cannot overstep the-
We cannot overstep the line

So many baby's arms with nothing to hold onto
But just a precious flake of life (ooh)
You think you care about them
They think you care about them
But thinking's only wasting time, oh

If we really want to say the things we want to
It takes a bigger man to try, oh
Well, we can paint it up and make it pretty
But we, we cannot overstep the line, mm-no

Cannot overstep (no, no)
We cannot overstep the (no, no, no, no)
We cannot overstep the line
We cannot overstep (no, no)
We cannot overstep the- (the line)
We cannot overstep the line (mm-mm-mm)

We cannot overstep (ooh, ooh)
We cannot overstep the-
We cannot overstep the line (mm-mm, the line)

Well, politicians sit and pretend they give a shit while
Little men go out to die (uh)
The only arms they're hugging are the ones they're running
Later to be justified, mm

I say I don't mind
You say you don't mind
But what about the babies? And what about the sunshine?
Well, we can paint it up and make it pretty
But we, we cannot overstep the line, mm, no, no

Cannot overstep the- (ooh, ooh)
We cannot overstep the- (never, never, never)
We cannot overstep the line (oh, the line)
We cannot overstep (hmm-mm)
We cannot overstep the- (ooh, ooh)
We cannot overstep the line, mm, well

I say I don't mind
You say you don't mind
But what about the babies? And what about the sunshine?
Well, we can paint it up and make it pretty
But we cannot overstep the line

Will we over step? (Cannot overstep)
Will we over step? (We cannot overstep the-)
We cannot overstep the line (ooh)

Cannot overstep the- (ooh, ooh)
We cannot overstep the- (no-no-no, no, na-na-na-na-na)
We cannot overstep the line
We cannot overstep (ooh, overstep)
We cannot overstep the- (we cannot overstep)
We cannot overstep the line (mm)

We cannot overstep (never, never)
We cannot overstep the- (ooh)
We cannot overstep the line (we cannot overstep the line, uh)
