You're walking the street

You're in need of someone's sympathy

And someone you meet

Helps to pass the time just perfectly



'Cause she takes you by the hand

Takes you to the promised land

And gives you her love



You're drinking alone

Shadowed by your own uncertainty

But you'd like to be shown

Everything you've never dared to see



Then she takes you by the hand

Takes you to the promised land

And gives you her love



The damage is done

Taking love on the run

You can buy your romance

So you jump at the chance

Hit and run
