We Could Be Together

If I were an only child
I would be a lonely child
But, baby, we've got nothing to lose
I'm standing tall in my own shoes

I'll take this chance, I'll make this choice
I'll right this wrong, I'll raise my voice
If it means we'll be together
For a while

I have never had a doubt
But for you I'll take time out
I'll push his love far away from me
And then I'll be completely free

I'll give up my security
For just the possibility
That we could be together
For a while

If you said "Jump", I'd say "How high?"
If you said "Run" I'd run and fly
Just for the chance, just for the moment
Should the moment pass us by

And if you ask once I'll tell you twice
I'll ignore the world's advice
If we could be together
For a while

I am taken by your strength
I've thought about it at great length
I thought that I was happy now
But there are things that I found out

Happiness means greater things
I'll sit here till that telephone rings
Then we could be together
For a while

If you said "Jump", I'd say "How high?"
If you said "Run" I'd run and fly
Just for the chance, just for the moment
Should the moment pass us by

And if you ask once I'll tell you twice
I'll ignore the world's advice
If we could be together
For a while

Wait'll I tell my guy
(Wait'll I tell)
Wait'll I tell my other friends
They'll all think I'm crazy

And ya know what? That depends
'Cause I'm crazy in love with you
And everyone's best won't do
They'll say my hopes will not come true

But I'm taking the chance
Because you only live once
Only live once
(Only live once)

And, if you said, "Jump", I'd say, "How high?"
If you said, "Run", you know I'd fly
Just for the chance, just for the moment
Should the moment pass us by

And if you ask once, I'll tell you twice
I'll ignore the world's advice
If we could be together
For a while

There are no guarantees
But if it means
There's even a possibility
Then I'll give up whatever it takes

I know I've made some mistakes before
It may be just another closed door
But we could be together
For a while

If you said, "Jump", I'd say, "How high?"
If you said, "Run", I'd run and fly
Just for the chance, just for the moment
Should the moment pass us by

Ask me once I'll tell you twice
You know I'll ignore the world's advice
If we could be together
For a while

If you said, "Jump", I'd say, "How high?"
If you said, "Run", I'd run and fly
Just for the chance, just for the moment
Should the moment pass us by

Ask me once I'll tell you twice
You know I'll ignore the world's advice
If we could be together
For a while

Don't you know that we could be together
For a while
