The Edge by Chico DeBarge Lyrics

[Intro]
Ooh
Ooh

The edge (the edge)
Oh, oh, whoa, oh

[Verse 1]
You can't hide what you feel inside (uh)
I'm your wall in this empty room
Question why am I in this for
Right or wrong
(?)

[Bridge]
I run your race, but by your rules
(?)
I take a chance a run a lap so I can lose
You change the game
And make it do just what you want it to
And when you don't, it's never through (ohh, oh, oh)
[Chorus]
Ooh
I'm in it cause I wanna win (ooh)
I'm playing you for keeps (ooh)
I'm trying to give you what you want (ooh)
If you let me, baby (ooh)

I know you wanna run free (ooh)
But girl, I need you close to me (ooh)
I'm trying to play it by your rules (ooh)
Win or lose; play it cool

[Ad-libbing]
Beh, deh, deeeh (beh, deh, deeeh)
Ba, daaa, da
Do, do, do, dooo (do, do, dooo)

[Verse 2]
In one day, I knew I loved you
There's no way to compromise (hm)
If you say you'll be my side
I'll do whatever turns you on, babe
To keep you satisfied

[Bridge]
Baby, I can barely sleep (?)
I hope and pray that so that God will get us by
Beneath my feet is sinking sand
And I don't wanna lose
So to survive
I get high
[Chorus]
Ooh
I'm in it cause I wanna win (ooh)
I'm playing you for keeps (ooh)
I'm trying to give you what you want (ooh)
If you let me, baby (ooh)

I know you wanna run free (ooh)
But girl, I need you close to me (ooh)
I'm trying to do it by the rules (ooh)
Win or lose; play it cool

[Instrumental and fade out]
