100 KM Lyrics
Don’t wanna break your heart
But I might leave some scars
So before the night gets way to dark
Let’s see how far you will go for me
‘Would you empty your heart?’
How far you would go for her majesty
‘Cos’ I’ll make you go further’
Would you ride for me?
If it means I’ll stay
Would you try for me?
Would you run
100 kilometres,100 kilometres
Would you lie for me?
Would you take a bullet?
And die for me?
Would you run
100 kilometres, 100 kilometres
100 kilometres
100 kilometres
I command unto thee
You go treat me like royalty
Work for me overtime
You know what’s yours is mine
You go take my hand,
Show how far you would go for her majesty,
‘Cos’ I’ll make you go furher’
Go further
Would you ride for me?
If it means I’ll stay
Would you try for me?
Would you run
100 kilometres,100 kilometres
Would you lie for me?
Would you take a bullet?
And die for me?
Would you run
100 kilometres, 100 kilometres
100 kilometres
100 kilometres
Would you ride for me?
Would you try for me?
Would you lie for me?
Would you run for me?
Would you run?
Would you run?
