Take A Look - Level 42

I’m a ragged man with a ragged heart

But I wear my soul with pride

You can see me on the road

See my carrying my home

And perhaps it seems that I’m all alone

But I’m happy here inside

You can keep your fancy dress

'cause to me it don’t impress

When I look in your face

That camera smile looks out of place on you

By the look in your eyes

I can see you realize

So lend yourself to me

I’ll show you what could be

Well I’ve come so far down so many roads

I’ve experienced your pain

You know that that’s a fact

I can see the way you act

But I learned to see what was wrong with me

And I won’t go back again

I know I’ve made mistakes

But I also made the break

You surround yourself

With secrets you are afraid to show to the world

You convince yourself

There’s no other way to go don’t you

See the smile on my face

Does it look so out of place

So lend yourself to me

I’ll show you what could be (yes I will)

So many ways

For you to spend the passing days

Loving and living or losing and using

Life is forgiving so use it well

Feeling revealing or wheeling and dealing

Life’s not for stealing and time will tell

Take a look at your face

Take a look at your face

You must surely know

If man made heaven then man made hell

So take a look at yourself

What’s this secret you can’t tell me

(when I look in your face

I see that smile so out of place on you

And by the look in your eyes

I can see you realize, oh yeah)
