A breathless drive on a downtown street, a motorbike ride in the mid-day heat

The dust that hung from the dead skies, oh I know you're wrong

It still burned our eyes



Oh yes we may walk on the wild wild side of life

And the movement's traced by a stranger close by your side

And in the shadows of a promise you can take my hand

And show me a way to understand



Chorus:

So if you think you know how to love me, and you think you know what I need

And if you really, really want me to stay, you got to lead the way

Yes, if you think you know how to love me, and you think you can stand by me

And if you really, really want me to stay, you got to lead the way



A reckless night in a nameless town

Then we moved outta sight with a silent sound

The beach that wept with deserted waves, that's where we slept

Knowing we'd be safe



Now you may think you can walk on the wild wild side with me

But there's a lot I can learn and a lot that I've yet to see

You know you got my life lyin' in your hands

It's up to you to make me understand



chorus



(Instrumental break)



chorus repeats out
