  • I don't want to hear about it anymore
    It's a shame I've got to live without you anymore
    There's a fire in my heart
    A pounding in my brain
    It's driving me crazy

    We don't need to talk about it anymore
    Yesterday's just a memory
    Can we close the door?
    I just made one mistake
    I didn't know what to say
    When you called me "baby"

    Don't say goodnight
    Say you're gonna stay forever
    Oh-whoa, all the way

    Can you take me high enough
    To fly me over (fly me over)
    Yesterday?
    Can you take me high enough?
    It's never over
    And yesterday is just a memory
    Yesterday is just a memory

    And I don't want to live without you anymore
    Can't you see I'm in misery?
    And you know for sure
    I would live and die for you
    And I'd know just what to do
    When you call me "baby"

    Don't say goodbye
    Say you're gonna stay forever
    Oh-whoa, all the way

    Can you take me high enough
    Can you fly me over (fly me over)
    Yesterday?
    Can you take me high enough
    It's never over
    And yesterday is just a memory, I'm running

    (Oh-woah)
    I was running for the door
    (Oh-woah)
    The next thing I remember
    (Oh-woah)
    I was running back for more
    (Oh-woah)
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

    Don't say goodbye
    Say you're gonna stay forever
    Oh-whoa, all the way (all the way)
    (All the way, yeah)

    Can you take me high enough
    Can you fly me over (fly me over)
    Yesterday?
    Can you take me high enough?
    It's never over
    Whoa-oh, Whoa-oh, Whoa-oh, Whoa-oh

    Can you take me high enough
    Won't you fly me over (won't you fly me over)
    Yesterday?
    Can you take me high enough?
    It's never over
    Whoa-oh, Whoa-oh, Whoa-oh, Whoa-oh Writer/s: Jack Blades, Ted A. Nugent, Tommy R. Shaw

  • Kim from WyomingWho is the girl in the video?
  • Robert from Clermont Fl.What was the guitar that Ted Nugent was playing in the Damn Yankees video High Enough?
  • David J Haskell from Camarillo, CaThis song was arranged by Jimmie Haskell
  • Nathalie from CaliI've loved this song since the day it first came out. While many songs speak to me and my relationship with my man, this is the one that hits home. It's almost like the boys looked into the future back then...
  • Della from CanadaOne of my favorite ballads, and the hair, gotta love the hair!
  • William from Reno, NvThat is the same model they used for "Where you goin now". I wonder if she's someone's squeeze. That's NOT Shemaine Nugent. She's not tall enough. K/H D
  • Andrea from Allentown, PaShaw Blades, comprised of Damn Yankees' members Tommy Shaw and Jack Blades, perform a beautiful country-and-western version of this song.
  • Andrea from Allentown, PaThis is easily one of my favorite songs of all time. To me, this song is about making a mistake and wishing to go back in time to not make this mistake. My ears hear "woe, woe, woe, woe," instead of "whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa."
  • Crystal from Warren, PaLove it
  • River from Istanbul, Turkey"I don't wanna hear about it...."
    They should of kept it that way...
  • Rachel from Augusta, KsMy absolute favorite power ballad of all time. I'm surprised there aren't other comments for it.
