I recall in '82, there was only me to talk to

I was in my lonely world, and then I found someone to walk to



I remember every second of every day, but there was something not right

And as day leads to night, over and over again



Well it seems so long ago, that there were two of us together

But it seems that love don't last, and now it's true of us forever



If only life would go the way that you want it to

Oh but the feeling inside, that I know I can't hide

Is starting all over again, and baby, you know



Chorus:

You got a hold on my heart, you got a hold on my heart

You know it gets stronger, the longer you keep us apart

You got a hold on my heart, a serious hold on my heart

I try to deny it, but baby, that's the hardest part



When I look back on those days, it's just a memory forever



If only life would go the way that you want it to

But when I get this feelin' inside, I know I can't hide

It's starting all over again



chorus repeats out
