That's the Way (I'm Only Trying to Help You)

Culture Club • Colour By Numbers (1983)

Clowns caress you
Figures undress your fears
Induced to crying beyond emotion
Shedding tears as big as the ocean

Don't say you didn't hear us calling
Ooh, ooh you'll be sorry in the morning
When we tell you mama had tears in her eyes
She's the only one who never cries

That's the way we destroy, baby
Shut it out, shut it out
That's the way we destroy, baby
Shut it out of your mind
That's the way, hey, hey
That's the way

If I address you
And you see me in the shadows falling
Call, caress me
Hey, I woke up on my own this morning

Don't say you didn't hear us calling
Ooh, ooh you'll be sorry in the morning
When we tell you mama had tears in her eyes
She's the only one who never lies

That's the way we destroy, baby
Shut it out, shut it out
That's the way we destroy, baby
Shut it out of your mind
That's the way, hey, hey
That's the way

I'm only trying to help you, baby
(Only trying to help you, yeah)
I'm only trying to help you, baby
(Only trying to help you)
I'm only trying to help you, baby
(Only trying, only trying, only trying to help you)
I'm only trying to help you, baby
(Only trying to help you)
I'm only trying to help you
(Only trying to help you)
I'm only trying to help you
(Only trying to help you)
I'm only trying to help you
