She was only a child

Someone to hold on Only a child

Someone to believe in Only a child

Someone to love

Ah…

She was «17»

Beauty queen

I met her in a magazine

Heart of fire

Loves desire

Reachin’out

Higher, higher

Runaway

One more day

A broken hearted child at play

I pray for you

Baby blue

In the name of love

I reach for you

In the darkness comes

The evil of the night

Think about it You better wait

Stop yourself before you fall

You better wait

Stop before you lose it all

Somewhere there’s love

Oh somewhere, somewhere

Precious girl

Little pearl

Temptation is a lonely world

Eyes deceive

They believe

In everything they wanna see, yeah

And the neon lights

Reflect your life

Only you know

Where you hide baby

You better wait

Stop yourself before you fall

You better wait

Stop before you lose it all

'Cause somewhere there’s love

You better wait

Stop before you start

Don’t look back

Don’t lose heart

(guitar solo)

Don’t look

Don’t look

Don’t look back baby

Ah…

Don’t

Ah…

Don’t look

Don’t look

Don’t look back baby
