Lyrics:

(Joan Jett/Desmond Child)

Here I am before you this is what I am
Tell me what you're thinking tell me where I stand, stand with you

I got a ring on my finger for every broken heart
I got a line in a song for every time I was torn apart
I got a past like a book but I'll turn the page for you tonight

And if it takes all night I will be with you
Till we get it right I will see it through
The fire burns and it would be a sin
To let our passion turn to ashes in the wind

Here I am before you this is all I've got
I'm waiting for an answer well I just gotta talk talk to you

I got a bracelet on my wrist for everytime my heart was bound
I got a chain around my neck for everytime somebody tried to tie me down
I gotta leave tomorrow morning tonight is all we got alone

And if it takes all night I will be with you
Till we get it right I will see it through
The fire burns and it would be a sin
To let our passion turn to ashes in the wind
Ashes in the wind

Here I am before you
Is this what you want well?
Does this feeling scare you
In your mind you run
Run from me

Though it looks like I got treasure but it's my life I wear to town
Cuz this heavy load aint silver it's your love that weights me down

And if it takes all night I will be with you
Till we get it right I will see it through
The fire burns and it would be a sin
To let our passion turn to ashes in the wind

And if it takes all night I will be with you
Till we get it right I will see it through
The fire burns and it would be a sin
To let our passion turn to ashes in the wind
Ashes in the wind
Ashes in the wind
