Lyrics

Team Mate

We used to go out nightly To the armoury You used to be my team mate Or that's the way it seemed We lost our friends Because you wanted to They had no faith in you I had faith in you You said we don't need anybody new It's just me and you On a bicycle for two Ah ah ahhh We used to hold on tightly And you relied on me I used to to be your team mate Or that's the way it seemed We lost our friends Because you wanted to They had no faith in you I had faith in you We've been everything you wanted to It was just me and you On a bicycle for two Ah ah ahhh Ah ah ahhh
