I know that I could never be   The first one to kiss you   'Cause darling there's been many men   Before me      I guess that I could never be   The first one to love you   'Cause all of those days   Have been gone      In every city street and every night and day   It's a world war trying to get your own way   If I had a wish   I swear you'd hear me say      Could I be the last give in   Say you'll never start again   Could I be the dream, the dream for you   Could I be? Would I do?      Could I be the last surrender   Could I be the number one contender   Could I trust you if you don't come home   Could I leave you all alone?      Tougher than the rest of us   You're making out like it never was   You say you got the whole thing   For truth      You'd rather walk away than fight   And you'd rather do what's wrong than right   It brings yourself in the darkest shade   Of gray      In every city street and every night and day   It's a world war trying to get your own way   If I had a wish   I swear you'd hear me say      Could I be the last give in   Say you'll never start again   Could I be the dream, the dream for you   Could I be? Would I do?      Could I be the last surrender   Could I be the number one contender   Could I trust you if you don't come home   Could I leave you all alone?      Every city street and every night and day   It's a world war trying to get your own way   If I had a wish   I swear you'd hear me say      Yeah, could I be the last give in   Say you'll never start again   Could I be the dream for you?      Could I be the last surrender   Could I be the number one contender   Could I trust you if you don't come home   Could I leave you all alone?
