nothing can ever compare
to the promise i have in you
bet you never thought that i'd
leave you reckless
now that i've grown older
i have learned from things
that i've done wrong
kicked out my emotions
ten summers to long

way back in '88
i made a promise i would break
bet you never thought i'd
steal your He-man
fighting in the back yard
playing spotlight until ten
those were the days when we thought we were men

now that i've got you
now that i've found you
i'll hold you tight
(never let you go)
now that i got you
now that i found you
i'll hold you tight
(never let you go)
