A breathless drive on a downtown street
Motorbike ride in the midday heat
The 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
And in the shadows of a promise
You can take my hand
And show me the 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
A reckless night in a nameless town
Then we moved out of sight with a silent sound
A 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'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
Yes, 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
