Higher Ground

[Verse 1]
Thought you were my destiny
But you kept pullin' me down, down, down, down
Always got the best of me
Tell me, are you proud?
Are you in or out?
Why'd you let this carry on?
You see me spinnin' to the floor
I can't just keep on goin' on
Can't take no more, can't take no more

[Pre-Chorus]
All these people watchin' me, I'm watchin' you
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
No more treatin' me like a fool

[Chorus]
I'm takin' the higher ground
Higher ground
Higher ground
Higher ground
Higher ground

[Verse 2]
Lookin' back on memories
Rare situtations you were kind
Temptation always gets the best of me
Our love is blind, runnin' out of time
Criticizin' every move
You're feelin' so unsure
No more of your patronizin', I'm realizin'
I don't need no more

[Pre-Chorus]
All these people watchin' me, I'm watchin' you
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
No more treatin' me like a fool

[Chorus]
I'm takin' the higher ground
Higher ground
Higher ground
Higher ground
Higher ground
Higher ground
Higher ground
Higher ground
Higher ground

[Bridge]
I'm lookin' out for me
I let myself run free
I'm lookin' out for me
I let myself run free

[Chorus]
I'm takin' the higher ground
Higher ground
Higher ground
Higher ground
Higher ground
Higher ground
Higher ground
Higher ground
Higher ground
