“And I need you now tonight / And I need you more than ever,” Kelce belted the chorus. “And if you only hold me тιԍнт / We’ll be holding on forever / And we’ll only be making it right / ‘Cause we’ll never be wrong / Together, we can take it to the end of the line / Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time.”
