Lyrics

U2

Red Light

From War1983

Written by Adam Clayton, Bono, Larry Mullen Jr.

Lyrics

Red Light

[Intro]

Ooh, oh

[Verse 1]

I talk to you

You walk away

You're still on the down beat

You say you don't want my help

But you can't escape

If you're running from yourself

[Chorus]

I give you my love

I give you my love

Give you my love

Still you walk away

Well

[Verse 2]

Oh, it's your own late show

As you jump to the street below

But where can you go

To leave yourself behind

Alone in the spotlight

Of this, your own tragedy?

[Chorus]

I give you my love, love, love, love

Love, love, love, love, love

[Bridge]

In the heart, in the heart

In the heart of the city

Produced by Steve Lillywhite

In the heart, in the heart

In the heart of the city

Oh, love

I pour my love out for you

And I'll bring you through

See, you're not alone

[Chorus]

I give you my love, give you my love

Give you my love, give you my love

Give you my love, give you my love

Give you my love, give you my love

Give you my love, love, love, love

Love, love, love, love, love
