Looking back on all we’ve been through
There’s much pain in the past for me and you
But we’re inclined to make mistakes
‘Cause there’s no such thing as a perfect mate,
I must admit, I felt all hope was gone
‘Till l took time out, to find out, what was wrong?
How l know the deal, it’s so clear to me
So do you have the time for me to explain?
How l really feel, ‘cause I’m hurting
CHORUS: I had given up but I love you too much
Baby let’s hang on, hang on
I’m not giving up ‘cause I love you too much
Baby let’s hang on

Listen up lady, I don’t want to fuss and fight
We’re gonna conversate for the rest of the night
‘Cause we’ve lost time, neglecting one another
So, let’s start all over and leave no stone uncovered
Do you remember the nights making love till daylight?
How could you forget, the night we met, the evening of ecstasy
And If you had that in mind then I’m sure that you’ll find
That we can take It back to the way it used to be. Yeah
So what’s it gonna be now
Are you gonna stick around awhile
I think that we can work it out
‘Cause I know you won’t let me down
