| Once upon a time, in the cold daylight |
| I wanted her to love me and take me for life |
| But there was something in the way she was holding me tight |
| Hey, yeah, hey, yeah, hey, yeah |
| My burnin' red heart started turning to ice |
| And now I’m feelin' meaner than a dog gone wild |
| Baby, take me as I am, it’ll be alright |
| Take me as I am, gimme one more night |
| Hey, I’m holding on for life |
| It’s just my way |
| Please, stay one more night |
| It’s in my eyes, I can’t hide |
| I been on a mean streak miles and miles wide |
| Maybe that’s just what you like, yeah |
| Gimme all your lightning, your thunderbolt |
| I’ll play you every song that I ever wrote |
| Saying that I will when I know I won’t |
| Hey, yeah, hey, yeah, hey, yeah |
| Who needs the rescue? |
| Who needs to get through? |
| I think we all do, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh |
| I think we all do |
| Hey, I’m holding on for life |
| It’s just my way |
| Please, stay one more night |
| It’s in my eyes, I can’t hide |
| I been on a mean streak miles and miles wide |
| Maybe that’s just what I like |
| Hey |
| Maybe that’s just what I like, yeah |
| I think we all do, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh |
| Maybe that’s just what we like |
