Lover - Billy Squier
I was green in my younger days
Full of plans but not much knowing
Tried my hand at the game of love
But I was so naive
From the shelter of mama's wings
Learned to fly but I was broken
By a woman of 25
When I was just 19
Didn't know where to find myself
The rules they were not so simple
Makes no sense trying to face this world
'Til you're old enough to fight
I try
Lover you're the reason I'll be home tonite
Lover never thought that I would see the light
I was hungry in '81
For a time I thought I'd found her
Found myself on the road again
Freezing from the cold
Fortune found me in '82
With a girl from way down under
She seemed like the natural thing
I thought I knew for sure
Tried to hold her I could not see I could not
Past her eyes was a spell unbroken
Battered visions and frozen dreams
That would never see the light now you're my
Lover lover you're the reason I'll be home tonite
Lover lover someone told me it comes once in a lifetime
Lover never thought that I would see the light
Lover lover you're the reason I'll be home tonite
It's a long road to salvation
People say nothing lasts forever
But when it comes to the bottom line
When I make it I'll see you there see you there
Once in a lifetime
Now we're looking on better times
It seems like a miracle
But I'll never forget those days
I'm ready now to fight for you my
Lover lover you're the reason I'll be home tonite
Lover lover someone told me it comes once in a lifetime
Lover lover never thought that I would see the light
Lover you're the reason I'll be home tonite
Once in a lifetime
