You think I'd leave
your side, baby?
You know me better than that
You think I'd leave you down
When you're down on your knees?
I wouldn't do that
I'll tell you you're right when you want
And if only you could see into me
Oh, when you're cold
I'll be there
Hold you tight to me
When you're on the
outside, baby
And you can't get in
I will show you
You're so much better than you know
When you're lost and you're alone
And you can't get back again
I will find you
Darling, and I will bring you home
And if you want to cry
I am here to dry your eyes
And in no time, you'll be fine
You think I'd leave
your side, baby?
You know me better than that
You think I'd leave you down
When you're down on your knees?
I wouldn't do that
I'll tell you you're right when you're wrong
And if only you could see into me
Oh, when you're cold
I'll be there
Hold you tight to me
Oh, when you're low
I'll be there
By your side, baby
Oh, when you're cold
I'll be there
Hold you tight to me
Oh, when you're low
I'll be there
By your side, baby.

Closed off from love,
I didn't need the pain
Once or twice was enough and it was all in vain
Time starts to pass, before you know it, you're frozen, ooh
But something happened for the very first time with you
My heart melts into the ground, found something true
And everyone's looking 'round, thinking I'm going crazy, oh
But I don't care what
they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away, but they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein that I keep on closing
You cut me open and I
Keep bleeding, keep,
keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open
Oh yeah
Trying hard not to
hear, but they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds fill my ears, try to fill me with doubt
Yet I know that their goal is to keep me from falling, hey, oh
But nothing's greater than the rush that comes with your embrace
And in this world of loneliness, I see your face
Yet everyone around me thinks that I'm going crazy
Maybe, maybe
But I don't care what
they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away, but they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein that I keep on closing
You cut me open and I
Keep bleeding, keep,
keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open
And it's draining all
of me
Though they find it hard to believe
I'll be wearing these scars for everyone to see
I don't care what
they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away, but they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein that I keep on closing
Oh, you cut me open and I
Keep bleeding, keep,
keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
Oh, you cut me open and I
Keep bleeding, keep,
keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
I keep
Oh, you cut me open and I
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love.

Sarah Lois Vaughan(March 27, 1924 – April 3,
1990) was an American jazzsinger.
Nicknamed "Sassy" and "The Divine One", she
won four Grammy Awards,
including the Lifetime Achievement Award. She was given an NEA Jazz MastersAward in 1989. Critic Scott Yanowwrote that she had "one of the most wondrous voices of the 20th
century
Vaughan was born in Newark, New Jersey,
to Asbury "Jake" Vaughan, a carpenter by trade who played guitar and
piano, and Ada Vaughan, a laundress who sang in the church choir, migrants from
Virginia. The Vaughans lived in a house on Brunswick Street in Newark for
Vaughan's entire childhood. Jake was deeply religious. The family was active in New Mount Zion
Baptist Church at 186 Thomas Street. Vaughan began piano lessons at the age of
seven, sang in the church choir, and played piano for rehearsals and services.
She
developed an early love for popular music on records and the radio. In
the 1930s, she frequently saw local and touring bands at the Montgomery Street
Skating Rink. By her mid-teens, she began venturing illegally into Newark's
night clubs and performing as a pianist and singer at the Piccadilly Club and
the Newark
Airport.
Vaughan attended East Side High School, then
transferred to Newark Arts
High School, which opened in 1931. As her nocturnal adventures as a
performer overwhelmed her academic pursuits, she dropped out of high school
during her junior year to concentrate on music.
