<intro-strings>

You and me, we wanted it all we wanted it all

Passion without pain, sunshine without rainy days

We wanted it always

You and me, we reached for the sky, the limit was high

Never giving in, certain we could win that prize

I should have seen it in your eyes

Look how all our dreams came true

See how I've got me and, baby, you've got you

Through it all, just one thing died

A little thing called love, something deep inside

You and me, we're not like the rest, we once were the best

Back when we were dumb, how did we become so smart

And learn to break each other's heart?

Look how all our dreams came true

See how I've got me, baby, you've got you

Through it all, just one thing died

A little thing called love, something deep inside

You and me, we're not like the rest, we once were the best

But look what we became, isn't it a cryin' shame

That we almost made it?

But we wanted it all

Baby, you and me

We wanted it all

Mm., mm , mm
