Give Me Back The Beat - Ringo Starr

Living on the street

Tonight’s a lonely place to be all right, oh lord

The rhythm of the city, I don’t find it pretty anymore

Like I did before

You walked out my door

Give me back the beat, give me back the beat

Give me back the only thing that makes my life complete

If you come back to me, I’ll be dancing in the street

I miss the two we had before that made me tap my feet

That used to rock this boy asleep now that you’re gone

(she's really gone)

Give me back the beat and let’s rock on

I feel the pounding of your heart

But I’m alone here in the dark, it’s true

Alleys filled with misery

Shadows of your memories break thru

I never knew

How much I needed you

Give me back the beat, give me back the beat

Give me back the only thing that makes my life complete

If you come back to me, I’ll be dancing in the street

I miss the two we had before that made me tap my feet

That used to rock this boy asleep now that you’re gone

(she's really gone)

Give me back the beat and let’s rock on

(ooh, rock on baby)

I won’t sleep;

baby, I can’t eat

I’m in too deep

It’s a high fall running into a brick wall all by yourself

But I know what will help

That used to rock this boy asleep now that you’re gone

(now that you’re gone)

So give me back the beat, you’ve got to…

(Give me back the beat, give me back the beat)

Give me back the only thing that makes my life complete

If you come back to me, I’ll be dancing in the street

I miss the two we had before that made me tap my feet

That used to rock this boy asleep now that you’re gone

(she's really gone)

So give me back the beat and let’s rock on

(ooh, rock on baby)

So give me back the beat and let’s rock on

(rock on)

Give me back the beat… and let’s rock on

(ooh, rock on baby)

Let’s rock on, baby, mmm…

(ooh, rock on baby)

Gary’s rockin'… Mark’s rockin' on…

(ooh, rock on baby)

Steve’s rockin' on… Ringo’s rockin' on!

(ooh, rock on baby)

Come on, rock!

(ooh, rock on baby)

Let’s rock on.
