Waite, John - Deal For Life Lyrics






In the course of your life
There's a side of each man
That sleeps in the darkest hour
I don't know what it takes
It takes time
It takes faith
To awake the second state of the heart
And a simple taste of love
To lift us up

It's easy enough to believe
Cause we're working on this deal for life
When your heart's held for ransom
Walk away and your spirit will fly
Bet the light that burns in your eyes
On a deal for life
Oh yeah

I never danced in a storm
I was hooked by a hunger
That left a bitter taste in my soul
There's a distance between
Hard truth and dreams
Some days it pays to run with the chances
I've got a simple taste of love to lift us up

It's easy enough to believe
Cause we're working on this deal for life
When your heart's held for ransom
Walk away and your spirit will fly
Bet the light that burns in your eyes
On a deal for life

And tennis slaves backhand never moved you
It tooks a soul all the way to pull you through
And now I won't let go
Won't let go
Oh yeah

Got a simple taste of love
To lift us up

It's easy enough to believe
Cause we're working on this deal for life
When your heart's held for ransom
Walk away and your spirit will fly

Cause it's easy enough to believe
On a deal for life
When your heart's held for ransom
Walk away and your spirit will fly
Bet the light that burns in your eyes
On a deal for life
Oh yeah

It's easy baby
It's easy
It's easy to believe
On a deal for life

  25. V.... N....

    I was 11 and I already liked this song. And I found it out almost 30 years latter. Trully amazing.

  26. D.... C....

    Takes me back to being 9 years old and listening to the days of thunder soundtrack over and over on a cassette tape

  27. m.... ....

    Why isn't this song on I tunes

  28. T.... S....

    Wish i could have got a deal for life ; my life would have been better; but i will in about 30 years when i am 6 feet under i will then get a deal for life and maybe meet John Waite

  29. s.... ....

    i've been a fan of his since The Babys. imo one of the great American-style rock voices of my generation. he was always a bigger hit here in the USA than in his native country. too bad for GB, their loss our gain. i only wished Bad English had stuck with it. the studio and some band friction rushed their second album and broke the band up. i thought they'd generated enough interest and hits from their first album.

    s.... ....

    Missing You was a top ten hit here in the UK in 1984 and that was it solo unfortunately. I wrote to the local BBC news programme for the North West in Manchester to suggest they do a feature on John as a local artist who has made it big but in line with the lack of recognition for his talent, there was no reply. I have been a fan for over thirty years and was lucky enough to see him live in Lancaster a few years ago. He has released so many superb songs in different incarnations and the albums contain so many other tracks that could have been singles. It is a crying shame that talent of this magnitude has never received the recognition it deserves.

  30. d.... C....

    i love this song

  31. d.... C....

    the songs that i always loved

  32. m.... ....
