Lover 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

I was hungry in '81
For a time I thought I'd found her
Found myself on the road again
Freezin' from the cold
Fortune found me in '82
With a girl from way down under
She seemed like the natural thing
I thought I knew for sure
