Lover Lyrics - Billy Squier

I was green in my younger days 

Full of plans but not much knowin' 

Tried my hand at the game of love 

But I was so naive 

From the shelter of mama's wings 

Learned to fly but I was broken 

By a woman of 25 

When I was just 19 

Didn't know where to find myself 

The rules they were not so simple 

Makes no sense tryin' to face this world 

'Til you're old enough to fight 

Lover... you're the reason I'll be home tonite 

Lover... never thought that I would see the light

Past her eyes was a spell unbroken 

Battered visions and frozen dreams 

That would never see the light... now you're my 

Lover... you're the reason I'll be home tonite 

Lover... someone told me it comes once-in-a-lifetime 

Lover... never thought that I would see the light 

Lover... you're the reason I'll be home tonite

It's a long road to salvation 

People say nothin' lasts forever 

But when it comes to the bottom line 

When I make it I'll see you there... see you there 

Once in a lifetime... 

Now we're lookin' on better times 

It seems like a miracle 

But I'll never forget those days 

I'm ready now to fight... for you my 

Lover... you're the reason I'll be home tonite 

Lover... someone told me it comes once-in-a-lifetime 

Lover... never thought that I would see the light 

Lover... you're the reason I'll be home tonite 

Once in a lifetime...
