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
