Charles Strouse - Charlie by Charles Strouse lyrics

Charlie You want from me what I can't give To set you free, to let you live To just give up To just let go, oh no, Charlie I reach this hide, I won't descend I'm gonna fight, I'm not your friend I will not be what I have been, oh I'll win, Charlie You were a smile, a joke, a clown, who could amuse But I'm a man in love, a man the world can use I understand and sympathies One of us live, the other dies I'm in control my flesh my brain, my heart, my soul and I'll remain It's you or me I'm gonna be, Charlie I won't see you, you just aren't here You aren't real so disappear I won't go back, not at this stage, into the dark, into that cage I'll find a way that I can stay Charlie Charlie Charlie! --- .
