“One night love affair,
Tryin' to make like we don't care.
We were both reachin' out for somethin'.One night love affair,
Pretendin' it ain't there.
Oh - and now we're left with nothin.”

—  Bryan Adams

Playin' games and takin' scores.
Tryin' to make other people lose their minds.
Well be careful you don't lose yours.Oh think (think)
Think about what you're tryin' to do to me.
Woo-hoo think (think)
Let your mind go let yourself be free.You need me (need me)
And I need you (don't cha know)
Without each other
There ain't nothin' we two can do.”

Reachin' out, touchin' me, touchin' you.

To believe they never would.

And it don't seem so lonely.
We fill it up with only two.”
