Lyrics Determination - Recorded Live at Roxy Nightclub, Los Angeles, 1978 - Todd Rundgren

Girl, the last time I saw you
You were crying my name
When I put you on the spot
Will you still feel the same?
Show me some determination
Show me the measure of your dedication
I need to see just a reflection of your inspiration
Don't you break down on me
I'm looking for someone
Someone strong enough to believe in
Everybody's looking for someone
Strong enough to stand on his feet
And never break down
I'll put my life on the line and believe what you say
I'll go out on a limb if you meet me halfway
Show me some determination
Show me the measure of your dedication
I need to see just a reflection of your inspiration
Don't you break down on me
I'm looking for someone
To show me what they mean by devotion
Everybody's looking for someone
Prepared to put aside his emotion
And never break down
You're a new wave raver and you like to talk tough
But can you still cut the mustard when the going gets rough
Show me some determination
Show me the measure of your dedication
I need to see just a reflection of your inspiration
Don't you break down on me
I need an indication of your determination
I need a demonstration of your determination
I need an indication of your determination
I need a demonstration of your determination
Show me some determination
Show me the measure of your dedication
I need to see just a reflection of your inspiration
Don't you break down on me
Three days in the rain and I ain't had no sleep
But I won't break down now, I got a promise to keep
Showing my determination 'cause that's the way I am
Show me some determination
Show me the measure of your dedication
I need to see just a reflection of your inspiration
Don't you break down on me
