Let me be the one [Russian translation]

So, the crowded street points its public finger,

Got you running out of town

And everything that made you swing,

Is starting to bring you down

Well if by chance you need help along, yeah.

Well let me be the one, to turn you on.

All gone it seems those broken dreams,

Now the bullets start to fly.

And it hurts to see reality,

Don't you need some kind of alibi?

Well if by chance you need a friendly song, yeah.

Well let me be the one, I said let me be the one,

I said let me be the one, to turn you on.

Let me be the one, yeah.

Here they come singing songs

With a love they cannot hide.

Now the critics dig their pens in,

Don't you need someone by your side?

Don't you need someone, yeah, yeah?

Let me be the one.

A lonely shadow stands where the sun once shone.

Let me be the one, I said let me be the one, to turn you on.

Let me be the one, yeah, yeah...
