Who sings this song? I believe it is from the early 80's. The name of the song is Breaking Away. Here are the lyrics:

No chance to keep me waiting
Can't explain
You know I've been saying that
Someday soon you know I'll be breaking away
Every night you try to change me
Its not right, I feel you caging me
Don't tie me down
Cause you know I'll be breaking away
I'm breaking away
Ooh
I'm breaking away
Ooh
I'm breaking away
Ooh
I'm breaking away
There's not doubt about my leaving
I'm checkin' out cause I've been feelin' that
I should leave
And so I'll be breaking away
Just in case you think I'm foolin'
Don't chase its only proving
That I should leave
And so I'll be breaking away
I'm breaking away
Ooh
I'm breaking away
Ooh
I'm breaking away
No chance to keep me waiting
I can't explain you know I've been saying that
Its coming soon
You know I'll be breaking away
I'm breaking away
Ooh
I'm breaking away
Ooh
I'm breaking away
Yeah
I'm breaking away
Ooh
I'm breaking away
Yeah
I'm breaking away
Ooh
Ooh
I'm breaking away
Ooh
I'm breaking away
Ah ah
I'm breaking away

If the song is a Jazz song then it could be Artist Al Jarreau : 1981 : Jazz : Album : Best of Al Jarreau but there are a lot of songs with the same name and the song has been reproduced.

Other Songs with the name are
: Artist Avantasia : 2004 : Metal : Album The Metal Opera
: Artist Various : 2000 : Rock : Album RAC Classics
: Artist Y & T : 1983 : Hard Rock : Album Mean Streak
: Artist Status Quo : 1979 : Rock : Album Whatever you want Not this one
: Artist Jaki Graham : Jazz : Not this one

The song is this one, finally found it, took me a little time to find as the lyric's where hard to find : Artist Balance : 1981 : Pop. This is the one and hope that help. Rate me so I can help other. Not a bad song to listen to.
