I know that I could never be
The first one to kiss you
'Cause darling there's been many men
Before me
I guess that I could never be
The first one to love you
'Cause all of those days
Have been gone
In every city street and every night and day
It's a world war trying to get your own way
If I had a wish
I swear you'd hear me say
Could I be the last give in
Say you'll never start again
Could I be the dream, the dream for you
Could I be? Would I do?
Could I be the last surrender
Could I be the number one contender
Could I trust you if you don't come home
Could I leave you all alone?
Tougher than the rest of us
You're making out like it never was
You say you got the whole thing
For truth
You'd rather walk away than fight
And you'd rather do what's wrong than right
It brings yourself in the darkest shade
Of gray
In every city street and every night and day
It's a world war trying to get your own way
If I had a wish
I swear you'd hear me say
Could I be the last give in
Say you'll never start again
Could I be the dream, the dream for you
Could I be? Would I do?
Could I be the last surrender
Could I be the number one contender
Could I trust you if you don't come home
Could I leave you all alone?
Every city street and every night and day
It's a world war trying to get your own way
If I had a wish
I swear you'd hear me say
Yeah, could I be the last give in
Say you'll never start again
Could I be the dream for you?
Could I be the last surrender
Could I be the number one contender
Could I trust you if you don't come home
Could I leave you all alone?
