For all the nights you held me close
Warmed my heart when it was cold

When I was giving up
You gave me love


From some dark alley in my mind
You made a hidden dream unwind
Turned my stumbling blocks

To stepping stones

I'll get even with you

For the hard times you helped me through
I'm giving back to you
All the love you've given me

For the rest of my life
Everyday and everynight
If it's the last thing I ever do

I'll get even with you

When the odds were against me

And I was lost with no will to go on
You wrapped your loving arms around my heart
Took my losin' hand and led me home


I'll get even with you
For the hard times you helped me through

I'm giving back to you
All the love you've given me
For the rest of my life

Everyday and everynight
If it's the last thing I ever do
I'll get even with you


If it's the last thing I ever do
I'll get even with you.
