I was 17 and I thought you were one in a million I never dreamed anyone (would) ever take you away And at 21 tied the knot with a holy union But I never thought I'd live to regret that day * you put a scar on my heart I can't cover up and hide I'm on the ropes in the corner with no fighter left inside ** under the heel of a stranger he holds you captive by his charms I saw the signs but not the danger now he's the hero in your arms Every night you go out tell me it's with a friend You come back late know you've seen him again And at 29 I realize the dreaming has to end Although I've lost your love still the ghost remains * repeat ** repeat Oh yeah (instrumental break ) ** repeat 2.75 more times
