'Scuse Me While I Kiss This Guy

I was singing along to my iPod today on the way to work and had one of those out of body experiences. I was able to hear myself singing along to Kenny Loggin's masterwork "I'm Free (Heaven Helps The Man)" [AKA the song that plays while the camera spins around during the credit sequence to Footloose]. Don't judge me. That's a good effin' record.

Anyhoo, after a few verses I realized that I was singing garbage lyrics that make no sense whatsoever. To wit, here are what I THOUGHT the lyrics were and what I just found online. How shameful. Please excuse the gap below. I managed a table, but I can't figure out how to bring it back up here.

Kenny’s Original

Kristen’s Rendition

Looking into your eyes I know I'm right If there's anything worth my love it's worth a fight We only get one chance But nothing ties our hands You're what I want Listen to me Nothing I want Is out of my reach Chorus (I'M FREE) HEAVEN HELPS THE MAN who fights his fear Love's the only thing that keeps me here You're the reason that I'm hanging on My heart's staying where my heart belongs (I'M FREE) Running away will never make me free And nothing we sign is any kind of guarantee But I wanna hold you now And I won't hold you down I'm shaking the past Making my breaks Taking control If that's what it takes

Looking into your eyes I know I'm right Said it wasn’t worth my love, it’s worth a fight You only get one chance Love can tie your hands Know what I want Listen to me Not want I want Get out of my teeth Chorus (I'M FREE) HEAVEN HELPS THE MAN who finds his film Love's the only thing that beats the streets No good reason have I held it on My hot ceiling’s where my heart belongs (I'M FREE) Running away will never may your key Living in silence has no guarantee But I wanna hold you now I won't hold him down Shaking a pass Taking a break Taking control That's what he takes
