Rip It Up (Intermediate Edit) [Mixed]

[Verse 1]

Standing sultry in the rain

If I could've held you

I would've held you

Rip it up and start again

[Chorus]

Rip it up and start again

Rip it up and start again

I hope to God you're not as dumb as you make out

I hope to God

I hope to God

And I hope to God I'm not as numb as you make out

I hope to God

I hope to God

[Verse 2]

And when I next saw you

My heart reached out for you

My arms stuck like glue to my sides

If I could've held you

I would've held you

But I'd choke rather than swallow my pride

[Chorus]

Rip it up and start again

Rip it up and start again

I hope to God you're not as dumb as you make out

I hope to God

I hope to God

And I hope to God I'm not as numb as you make out

I hope to God

I hope to God

[Verse 3]

And there were times I'd take my pen

And feel obliged to start again

I do profess

That there are things in life

That one can't quite express

You know me, I'm acting dumb-dumb

You know this scene is very humdrum

And my favorite song's entitled "Boredom"

[Chorus]

Rip it up and start again

I said rip it up and start again

I said rip it up and start again

I said rip it up and start again

I said rip it up and rip it up

Rip it up and zip it up

Rip it up and start again

Ooh-ooh-ooh

[Outro]

Rip it up

Rip it up

Rip it up

Rip it up and start again

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Rip it up (Ah)
