Saved - Beady Belle

I came to your rescue

Took you out of this place

Where there’s neither patience nor pity

Nothing will last

And nobody stays

In this fleeting and shallow city

Here people expect

Their lovers, their friends

Their children and even their god

To arrive

At little cost and time

Just to have what’s trendy and mod

And God forbid

If you’re out of step

What would happen then

You gotta join the dance

Get your ass on the floor

Success is your only friend

But I saved you

I saved you from this place

I freed you

From this foolish race

To another dance

For another chance

You simply couldn’t stay

So you had no say

But I saved you

In my own way

Here people will gladly

Exchange your faith for sex

And all sex for power

And the greatest concern

At the end of the day

Is to end up as a wallflower

And God forbid

If you’re out of step

What would happen then

You gotta join the dance

Get your ass on the floor

Success is your only friend

But I saved you

I saved you from this place

I freed you

From this foolish race

To another dance

For another chance

You simply couldn’t stay

So you had no say

But I saved you

In my own way

I don’t know if you ever thank me

If you even call it a rescue

But if I asked you ahead you wouldn’t agree

So I made the decision for you

Someone would call it abduction

An encroachment upon your free flow

But my love gave me the instructions

I just couldn’t let you go

But I saved you

I saved you from this place

I freed you

From this foolish race

I saved you

I saved you from this place

I freed you

From this foolish race

I saved you

I saved you from this place

I freed you

From this foolish race

To another dance

For another chance

You simply couldn’t stay

So you had no say

But I saved you

In my own way
