You Hit Me Where I Live by Peter Hammill Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Intro]
Uah-uuh-uh-uuh, yeah!
Uah-uuh-uh-uuh, yeah!
Uah-uuh-uh-uuh (Uah-uuh-uh-uuh) (Uah-uuh-uh-uuh), yeah!
Uah-uuh-uh-uuh (Uah-uuh-uh-uuh) (Uah-uuh-uh-uuh), yeah, yeah, yeah!

[Verse 1]
There was something in the conversation
Ancient languages were breaking through;
I was falling for infatuation –
How about you?

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Oh, you say it's nothing special
That's just the way it is...

[Chorus]
Yeah, you hit me where I live
Oh, you hit me where I live
Yeah, you hit me where I live
Oh, you hit me where I live
[Verse 2]
Though I drink the cup it leaves me thirsting –
What on earth am I supposed to do?
When I try to speak I find my
Bursting heart full of you

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Oh, you say it's only natural
You say forget and forgive...

[Chorus]
Oh, you hit me where I live
Yeah, you hit me where I live (Uah-uuh)
You hit me where I live
Yeah, you hit me where I live (Uah-uuh-uh-uuh)

[Verse 3]
I was once the man who felt no passion;
I was nothing till I fell for you
You're a duelist in your own fashion
Eyes that run me through

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Oh, you say that it's a mixed blessing
But I should take the gift you give...
[Chorus]
You hit me where I live (Uah-uuh)
You hit me where I live (Uah-uuh-uh-uuh)
You hit me where I live (Uah-uuh)
You hit me where I live (Uah-uuh-uh-uuh)
You hit me where I live (Uah-uuh)
You hit me where I live (Uah-uuh-uh-uuh)
You hit me where I live (Uah-uuh)
You hit me where I live (Uah-uuh-uh-uuh)

[Outro Chorus]
You hit me (Uah-uuh-uh-uuh)
(Uah-uuh-uh-uuh)
(Uah-uuh-uh-uuh)
(Uah-uuh-uh-uuh)
(Uah-uuh-uh-uuh) (Uah-uuh-uh-uuh) (Uah-uuh-uh-uuh) Yeah!
