He's in his fifties and he's past his prime
The-ring on his finger, it keeps him in line
On the surface he's respected, holds his head high
Deep in his heart is a desperate cry
She's in her forties and she's looking fine
Her battle scars say she's run outta time
She's independent, she can make it on her own
Behind the walls of her facade she wants to be known
She's trading freedom for intimacy
He's thinking of the possibility
If we could be together
Lovers forever
Through pain and pleasure
We could become one tonight
Every body needs to feel the human touch
Every heart can only take so much
Every body needs to feel the human touch
Every heart can only take so much
Romeo is past it, he's shooting in the dark
Juliet was dreaming she can't risk a broken heart
Don't wanna spend another Christmas on his own
Don't wanna spend the summer waiting by her phone
She's trading freedom for intimacy
He's thinking of the possibility
If we could be together
Lovers forever
Through pain and pleasure
We could become one tonight
There's a chasm between love and lust
Living a lie or learning to trust
Playing with fire and turning to dust
There's a chasm between love and lust
Every body needs to feel the human touch
Every heart can only take so much
Every body needs to feel the human touch
Every heart can only take so much
If we could be together
Lovers forever
Through pain and pleasure
We could become one tonight
