[Verse 1]
Once upon a time, in the cold daylight
I wanted her to love me and take me for life
But there was something in the way she was holding me tight
Hey, yeah, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
My burnin' red heart started turning to ice
And now I'm feelin' meaner than a dog gone wild
Baby, take me as I am, it'll be alright
Take me as I am, gimme one more night

[Chorus]
Hey, I'm holding on for life
It's just my way
Please, stay one more night
It's in my eyes, I can't hide
I been on a mean streak miles and miles wide
Maybe that's just what you like, yeah

[Verse 2]
Gimme all your lightning, your thunderbolt
I'll play you every song that I ever wrote
Saying that I will when I know I won't
Hey, yeah, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
Who needs the rescue?
Who needs to get through?
I think we all do, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I think we all do
[Chorus]
Hey, I'm holding on for life
It's just my way
Please, stay one more night
It's in my eyes, I can't hide
I been on a mean streak miles and miles wide
Maybe that's just what I like

[Post-Chorus]
Hey
Maybe that's just what I like, yeah
I think we all do, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Outro]
Maybe that's just what we like
