[Intro]
Oh yeah, mm yeah

[Verse 1]
Show no fear, it's here, babe
I know there, there were tears, babe
Don't hear what they're saying, it will tear you apart
Oh yeah, I know I was so wrong
I shouldn't hurt you, but it's beyond belief, babe
And they tear you apart

[Chorus]
I'll share, I need you there
All times of rain, all fear like pain
A new moon, a warm sun, a time for us, dear
He should never make us fear

[Verse 2]
Oh yeah, come on and touch me
Oh yes, here and here
I say, don't you know that I'm waiting?
It's beyond belief, babe, they tear you apart

[Chorus]
I'll share, I need you there
All times of rain, all feel like pain
A new moon, a warm sun, a time for us, dear
He should never make us fear

[Verse 3]
Oh yeah, come on and touch me
Oh yes, here and here
I say, don't you know that I'm waiting
It's beyond belief, babe, they tear you apart

[Chorus]
I'll share, I need you there
All times of rain, all feel like pain
A new moon, a warm sun, a time for us, dear
He should never make us fear

[Outro]
Oh, oh I need you, I need you, I need you
Oh, oh I need you. I need you
Oh baby, what they say

Billy Idol is an English rock musician, songwriter and actor. Born in Stanmore, Middlesex, Idol first achieved fame in the punk rock era as a member of the band Generation X. Unlike other British punk rock artists of his era, Idol was inspired by The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.

Idol then embarked on a successful solo career, and was a member of the MTV-driven “Second British Invasion” of the United States. A series of music videos for songs such as “Dancing With Myself”, “White Wedding”, “Rebel Yell” and “Eyes Without a Face” made him one of the first MTV stars. Idol continues to tour with guitarist Steve Stevens.

Idol’s 1987 release, “Mony Mony” reached #1 on the US top 40 charts; his songs to chart in the top 10 include: White Wedding, Eyes Without a Face, To Be a Lover and Cradle of Love.
