I make no promises, I can't do golden rings. But I'll give you everything (tonight)
I used to rule the world. seas would rise when I gave the word Now in the morning, I sleep alone, sweep the streets I used to own
Take on me (take on me) Take me on (take on me) I'll be gone in a day or two
Had to have high, high hopes for a living, shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing
And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed, just to get it all out, what's in my head and I, I'm feeling a little peculiar
When your legs don't work like they used to before, and I can't sweep you off of your feet
