Baby it's a scary old world were living in
Sometimes it hard to tell who's really your friend
There's not much that I'm sure of
But one thing's the gospel truth
I wouldn't be so damned afraid of what's on the evening news
If I could just wake up every morning
Lying next to you
CHORUS
So hold on to me another minute
Treasure every second while we're in it
This loves's so strong
Baby let it linger on
Hang on tight and let's chase tomorrow
Share the dreams, survive the sorrows
This scary old world
Baby honestly
Could sure use lovers
Just like you and me
Baby I think it's time we made our move
Do the things that only true lovers do
I need you right here with me
every single step
I'll give you this heart and soul and pray that God will help
Be your shelter from the storm
Til my dying breath
CHORUS 2X
Just like you and me
Baby just like you and me yeah
Just like you and me
