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
