Chuck Jackson – I Can't Break Away lyrics

All my life I wanted to fly,
Like the birds that you see up in the sky;
Making circles in the morning sun,
Flying high in the sky ‘till the day is done.
I can’t break away.

Chorus : Hoo-hoo hoooo hoo-hoo hooooooo

Like a child in his fantasy,
Punching holes in the walls of reality;
Cause all my life I wanted to fly,
But I don’t have the wings, and I wonder why,
I can’t break away.

Chorus : Ah-Mi-Nah, Do-Ki-Do, Ah-Mah-Neh-La

I can’t break away.

Chorus : Ah-Mi-Nah, Do-Ki-Do, Ah-Mah-Neh-La

Mama told me back when I was young,
Stand tall, don't cry, boy, you’re number one.
« She said »,
You can be what you wanna be,
But you can’t change the course of your destiny.
I can’t break away.

Chorus : Ah-Mi-Nah, Do-Ki-Do, Ah-Mah-Neh-La

No, no, no, no, no, I can’t break away.

Chorus : Ah-Mi-Nah, Do-Ki-Do, Ah-Mah-Neh-La

One is one, two is two.
You want me, I have you.
Black is black, white is white,
Just come out in the middle ‘tween day and night.
I can’t break away.

Chorus : Ah-Mi-Nah, Do-Ki-Do, Ah-Mah-Neh-La

No, no, no, no, no, I can’t break away.

Chorus : Ah-Mi-Nah, Do-Ki-Do, Ah-Mah-Neh-La


Chorus : Ah-Mi-Nah, Do-Ki-Do, Ah-Mah-Neh-La

No, no, no, no, no, I can’t break away.

Chorus : Ah-Mi-Nah, Do-Ki-Do, Ah-Mah-Neh-La

Say it again, say it again now.

Chorus : Ah-Mi-Nah, Do-Ki-Do, Ah-Mah-Neh-La

Good, good time, I can’t break away.

Chorus : Ah-Mi-Nah, Do-Ki-Do, Ah-Mah-Neh-La
Chorus : Ah-Mi-Nah, Do-Ki-Do, Ah-Mah-Neh-La

Listen to me, I can’t break away.

Chorus : Ah-Mi-Nah, Do-Ki-Do, Ah-Mah-Neh-La
