Lyrics for Lift Us Up by Dave Stewart And Vanessa Amorosi from the album Memphis Love

Oh, lift us up
When the whole world is bringing us down
Oh, lift us up (Oh)
Up onto solid ground

Ooh, we’ve been tripping and it ain’t fun
We’ve been spinning ’til the day’s done
Ooh, living it up, we hit every club
Didn’t we?
Didn’t notice all the stop signs
‘Cause we were really out of our minds
Never giving it up, we didn’t give a fuck
Did we?

We didn’t realise
That we weren’t in paradise
We were in a living hell
And that’s not love

(Oh, lift us up) Lift us up, baby, out of the dark
(When the whole world is bringing us down) And into the rain
(Oh, lift us up) Lift us up, baby
(Up onto solid ground) Out of thе dark, open our hearts, let it in, lеt it in, yeah
Mm, let it in, let it in, yeah

We didn’t think we had a problem
And if we did, we would have solved them
There was always some more, we knew where to score
Didn’t we?

We didn’t realise
That we weren’t in paradise
We were in a living hell
And that’s not love

(Oh, lift us up) Lift us up, baby
When the whole world (Is bringing us down), bringing us down, oh
(Oh, lift us up) Lift us up, baby, out of the dark
(Up onto solid ground) Open your heart

Ooh, yeah
No, it’s not
No, it’s not what love is
(Oh, lift us up)

(Oh, lift us up) Lift us up, baby, out of the dark
(When the whole world is bringing us down) Open your heart, yeah, yeah
(Oh, lift us up) Lift us up, baby, out of the dark
(Up onto solid ground) Open your heart
(Oh, lift us up) Oh, lift us up, oh
(Oh, lift us up) Oh, lift us up
(Oh, lift us up) Ooh
