Once we rode together
In a metal firecracker
You told me I was your queen
You told me I was your biker
You told me I was your everything

Once I was in your blood
And you were obsessed with me
You wanted to paint my picture
You wanted to undress me
You wanted to see me in your future

2 x Chorus:

All I ask Don't tell anybody the secrets Don't tell anybody the secrets I told you

Once you held me so tight
I thought I'd lose my mind
You said I rocked your world
You said it was for all time
You said that I would always be your girl

We'd put on ZZ Top
And turn 'em up real loud
I used to think you were strong
I used to think you were proud
I used to think nothing could go wrong

(2 x Chorus)
