Under Pressure Lyrics by Joss Stone

Killer Queen: A Tribute to Queen

2005

[Verse 1]
Pressure
Pushing down on me
Pressing down on you
No man ask for
Under pressure
That brings a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets
Oh, no (Um-ba-ba-da)
Ooh-ooh, no (Um-ba-ba-da)
(Ee-eh-da)
Hmm (Ee-eh-da)
(That's okay)

[Chorus]
It's a terror knowing what this world is about
I'm watching my good friends screaming ("Let me out")
Pray tomorrow takes me higher

[Verse 2]
(Um-ba-ba-da)
(Um-ba-ba-da)
(Ee-eh-da, ee-eh-da)
Chipping around kick my brains around the floor
These are the days it never rains but it pours
(Um-ba-ba-da)
(Um-ba-ba-da)
Ee-eh, eh (Ee-eh-da, ee-eh-da)
People on streets, ee-de-eh, eh, eh
People on streets, yeah, ee-eh, eh, eh

[Chorus]
It's the terror of knowing what this world is about
I'm watching my good friends screaming ("Let me out")
Praying tomorrow will take me higher and higher and higher and higher and higher

[Bridge]
Turned away from it all like a blind man (Like a blind man)
Sat on a fence but it don't work out
Keep coming up with love but it's so slashed and torn, why?
Ooh-hoo, ooh-oh, oh, why?
Ooh-hoo, ooh-oh, no

[Verse 3]
Why can't we give ourselves one more chance?
Can't we give love one more chance?
Can't we give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love?
('Cause love's such an old fashioned word and)
(Love dares you to care for the people on the edge of the night and)
(Love dares you to change our way of caring about ourselves)
(This is our last dance)
Oh, oh-oh
(This is our last dance)
Ooh-ooh, oh
(This is ourselves)

[Outro]
Under pressure
Pressing down on me
Pushing down on you, oh-oh, oh
Under pressure
Brings a building down
Splits a family in two, oh-oh, ooh-oh
('Cause love's such an old fashioned word and)
Under pressure, oh, oh
(Love dares you to care for)
Under pressure, oh, oh
(The people on edge of the night and)
Pressure, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, yeah, yeah
(Love dares you to change your way of)
Under pressure
(Caring about ourselves)
(This is our last dance)
Pushing down on me
(This is our last dance)
Pressing down on you
Pressing down on you, oh
(This is ourselves)
Under pressure, oh, oh, no
(Caring about ourselves)
(This is our last dance)
Ooh
(This is our last dance)
(This is ourselves)
