Breathless
drive on a
downtown street,
Motorbike ride in the mid-day heat.
Dust that hung from the
desert skies
Run
though we'd run, it
still burned our eyes.
Oh yes, we may walk on the wild, wild side of life.
And our
movements traced by a
stranger close by your side.
In the
shadows of a
promise you can take my hand,
And show me a way to understand.
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've 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've got to lead the way.
Reckless
night in a
nameless town,
Then we
moved out of
sight with a
silent sound.
A
beach that wept, the
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 I'd get to see.
I know you've got my life
lying in your hands,
It's up to you to make me understand.
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've 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've got to lead the way.

Pat Benatar did a cover of this song in the late 70's. But now when I listen to either version of this song, it brings tears to my eyes.
This stanza is what really got me:
________________________________________
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've got to lead the way.

...Because I'm wondering if this will be our role going forward with the "normies"? Probably overthinking this, as usual. Anyway, great song.
