Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
The wheels' tires of my car were smokin' when I got started
I was drivin' through the darkness of the night at whole, (Wow!)
A cheap thrill, an emotion started takin' on me
I was still frightened for the days to come
[Pre-Chorus]
It's your pain, or my pain or somebody's pain
Doesn't matter if I can live for the girlfriend I love
It's your dream or my dream or somebody's dream
I will not have fear any more
[Chorus]
Get wild and tough, believe me my girl
I'm the man who holds the part of love you can't hold alone
Get wild and tough, don't want to be a friend
I don't want to get through and find the message just in this town
Get chance and luck, don't worry my friend
If you find a place where you can saved that must be somewhere
Get chance and luck, I need you, my girl
I will find my broken dream if I must do by myself
[Verse 2]
She was throwin' a big kiss on the light of the car
She was dancin'/sensin' in the middle of the street
On the black stage of the cold night sky
I could see the girl
She was jokin', she was kiddin' but was more sad
[Pre-Chorus]
It's your pain, or my pain or somebody's pain
Doesn't matter if I can live for the girlfriend I love
It's your dream or my dream or somebody's dream
I know, I can be so strong
[Chorus]
Get wild and tough, believe me my girl
I'm the man who holds the pain of love you can't heal alone
Get wild and tough, don't want to be slave
I don't want to waste and lose my freedom just in this town
Get chance and luck, don't worry, my friend
You can find a place where you can saved
You don't need to be afraid
Get chance and luck, I need you, my girl
I will find my broken dream if I must do by myself
