Squier, Billy - Lover Lyrics






I was green in my younger days
Full of plans but not much knowin'
Tried my hand at the game of love
But I was so naive
From the shelter of mama's wings
Learned to fly but I was broken
By a woman of 25
When I was just 19

Didn't know where to find myself
The rules they were not so simple
Makes no sense tryin' to face this world
'Til you're old enough to fight

Lover...you're the reason I'll be home tonite
Lover...never thought that I would see the light

I was hungry in '81
For a time I thought I'd found her
Found myself on the road again
Freezin' from the cold
Fortune found me in '82
With a girl from way down under
She seemed like the natural thing
I thought I knew for sure

Tried to hold her--I could not see
Past her eyes was a spell unbroken
Battered visions and frozen dreams
That would never see the light...now you're my
Lover...you're the reason I'll be home tonite
Lover...someone told me it comes once-in-a-lifetime
Lover...never thought that I would see the light
Lover...you're the reason I'll be home tonite

It's a long road to salvation
People say nothin' lasts forever
But when it comes to the bottom line
When I make it I'll see you there...see you there

Once in a lifetime...

Now we're lookin' on better times
It seems like a miracle
But I'll never forget those days
I'm ready now to fight...for you my

Lover...you're the reason I'll be home tonite
Lover...someone told me it comes once-in-a-lifetime
Lover...never thought that I would see the light
Lover...you're the reason I'll be home tonite

Once in a lifetime...

Squier, Billy Lover Comments
  1. K.... I....

    Huge Billy fan loved all his music he did things his way

  2. O.... ....

    I legit thought this was " Montana lover"

  3. C.... L....

    All-time favorite song!

  4. M.... E....

    I'm not here because of a movie. I've known Billy Squier for years.If you've never heard his music. Look it up. He's really got a lot of good songs!

  5. M.... R....

    I can see you coming on me!.......and I can't ask for more!....yes I can darling.xoxo

  6. V.... P....

    Simply Fantástic is Song 🎼🎶🎸😎👊

  7. C.... B....

    He'll yah, your my kind of Lovahh!

  8. w.... ....

    Don’t Say No... MASSIVE record for Billy. Glad he made it back then cuz he put in a LOTTA work.

  9. G.... H....

    Fukking ayeeeee!!!!! Billy Squire ✌🏽You kick Ass Baby!!!!

  10. P.... S....

    Yo,
    Is it just ME, or do any of Ya´ll notice how the letters here are Sky Blue?
    Ten ( tee hee ) to ONE ( Precious ) never wnet to the
    University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Their color is sky blue, or

    " Carolina Blue "

    Chapel Hill , North Carolina is a bit of an odd town........
    before My "sister" started spellin her name with a k to torture ME
    She owned a bar in Chapel Hill..........
    So, I suppose that askin WOMAN to be honest to ME is a rather tall order
    even if that WOMAN is Five-Foot-Six , as is My sister, who
    once again, changed the spellin of her name to be germanic to

    TORTURE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!
    SO, just because I DO NOT DESERVE BEING HATED, I f-in a AM HATED BY WOMEN..
    It sucks ASS to be a "special guy with a special destiny", because of the

    FORCE OF HABIT, AND SENSE OF EXPECTATION OF PEOPLE-NOT-ME..........
    IF Loving a Woman is to be constantly lectured and browbeaten for no good gd reason, then

    FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
    let it be a WOMAN I ACTUALLY WANT.................
    Precious knows who she be........
    Please, the rest of the Women of the World, leave Me the hell alone.
    YOU ALL EXIST IN A STATE OF NOT BEING THE CURRENT OBJECT OF MY ATTENTION / AFFECTION.......

  11. H.... H....

    I think I was conceived to this song in 1989.

    The dirt 🤘

  23. P.... S....

    In spite of how much pain i feel, i know that one day, not too long from now, i will find a woman who will love me for being me, and that i will be able to have what others take for granted. when i have a woman from among my own kind, i will know i am where i belong............ i refuse to give up on me, my people, or the power of love . love conquers all.................... i feel feelings of love for a woman i really do not know, but somehow, i get the sense that perhaps she is willing to tolerate my presence, and will let me hold her hand, and at that moment, when she lets me hold her hand, i will know that Our Creator has allways loved ME and HER.........................patience is a virtue, and none of us are too old to learn a bit of virtue...............

  24. N.... V....

  50. u.... s....

    Quien vino por la película ? the dirt

  51. C.... C....

    Thank you

  52. C.... T....

    Sometimes certain lyrics sites are not right in how they have the lyrics. The lyric line which you show that says "Way beyond revenue" is incorrect. The actual lyrics are "baby I never knew." Also the name in the title and elsewhere are "My Kinda Lover."

    C.... T....

    Thank you so much for the kind words. Yes, I do take making lyric videos very serious, and I checked out your channel the other day and can tell that you take such things seriously as well by the way you were talking on your discussions board, I believe it was. That is great, and refreshing to see, as I have seen some people on here put up lyric videos where the lyrics aren't synchronized with the singing, they have atrocious misspellings, etc., etc. Yeah, I have seen some pretty sloppy work on YouTube, as I am sure you probably have as well. I believe in doing things right if you're going to do them, otherwise, what's the point? I strive for perfection, but alas, I am not perfect, I still make the subtle mistakes, which yeah, annoy me somewhat, but I just carry on and try to learn from them and do better in the future. Anyway, thanks again for the kind words, and you have a good week too, and peace to you and yours.

    C.... T....

    ShadowWalker1971 OMG. How you described yourself is exactly the way I am! And if you were to tell me that your astrological sign was Virgo I would maybe rethink my opinion as to whether astrology is a more exact science than I give it credit for. Thanks and have an awesome week!

    C.... T....

    Well, now you're really going to start tripping, because actually, I AM a Virgo. No kidding. Seriously, I am.

    C.... T....

    @ShadowWalker1971 Me too. Hm... that's really kind of scary. 😯

    C.... T....

    Yeah, in a neat and interesting kind of way. Lol.

  53. R.... S....

    My boyfriend sent me here and I deadass laughed thru the whole thing😂😂😂
