Verse 1:
I saw her standing by the neon light,
Rikky’s eyes were shining, stole my sight,
She had a smile that could stop the rain,
And I knew I’d never be the same.
We talked for hours 'til the sun came up,
Every word she spoke just filled my cup,
I never felt like this before,
But love was knocking at my door.

Verse 2:
We danced through days, we laughed through nights,
Every moment with her just felt so right,
But there were walls I couldn’t break,
Afraid to give more than I could take.
She said, “Tommy, I can’t wait for long,
I need someone who will stay strong.”
I watched her walk away that day,
And I couldn’t find the words to make her stay.

Chorus:
But I’m holding on, I’m not letting go,
I’ll show her now what I couldn’t show,
I’ll fight for love, I won’t back down,
I’ll make her see I’ll stick around.
She’s the one that I need, that I know is true,
And I’ll do what it takes to prove to you,
Ricky, I’ll love you, just give me the chance.

Verse 3:
I spent my nights thinking what I’d lost,
The price of fear, I paid the cost,
But love’s a fire that won’t burn out,
I realized what it’s all about.
I found her standing where we first met,
Eyes still bright but filled with regret,
I said, “Rikky, I’m ready now,
If you’ll take me back, I’ll show you how.”

Chorus (x2):
'Cause I’m holding on, I’m not letting go,
I’ll show you now what I couldn’t show,
I’ll fight for love, I won’t back down,
I’ll make you see I’ll stick around.
You’re the one that I need, that I know is true,
And I’ll do what it takes to prove to you,
Rikky, I’ll love you, just give me the chance.
