I will carry on this name (Oh) What are we without our chains? (Oh) You and I are just the same Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh, ah Ah-ah-ah Ah, ah And I, I'm like my mother But I'm like my father (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) And I, I'll build you castles Then I'll knock them through My mother is lonely My father left early yesterday (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
