For all the nights you held me close   Warmed my heart when it was cold   When I was giving up, you gave me love      From some dark alley in my mind   You made a hidden dream unwind   You turned my stumbling blocks   To stepping stones      I'll get even with you   For the hard times you've helped me through   I'm giving back to you   All the love you've given me   For the rest of my life   Every day and every night   If it's the last thing I ever do   I'll get even with you      When the odds were against me   And I was lost with no will to go on   You wrapped your loving arms around my heart   Took my losing hand and led me home      I'll get even with you   For the hard times you've helped me through   I'm giving back to you   All the love you've given me   For the rest of my life   Every day and every night   If it's the last thing I ever do   I'll get even with you      If it's the last thing I ever do   I'll get even with you
