Well it didn't sound exactly like that But anyhow, you get the picture But I found my focus And I found my steam For the rest of my life I'm gonna fight for this dream you know This time I'm going all the way This time I'm going all the way And after that everything changed I got what i wanted but my hunger Stayed the same Now that I'm older I've still got to learn things twice When we first met You were looking for a man I was acting like a boy And you gave me the hand And you said mm-hmm But I was so used to getting what I wanted Mm-hmm Well that happened many more times Due to various reasons Usually whiskey But you gave me another chance And this time it's good I'm so down for romance And treating you like I should And you say... Baby, baby Well you don't exactly say that But anyhow, you get the picture But we got our focus and we got our steam For the rest of our lives We're gonna fight for this dream you know This time we're going all the way This time we're going all the way So if you get it wrong, go back and do it right Find out what you love, and hold on to it tight This time we're going all the way This time we're going all the way
