Wrap myself up and take me home again Too many heartaches in one lifetime ain't good for me I figure it's the love that keeps you warm Let this moment be forever we won't ever feel the storm I ain't no vision, I am the man who loves you inside and out backwards and forwards with my heart hanging out I love no other way What am I gonna do if we lose that fire?
