Ella Fitzgerald This Time It's Real Lyrics

I never knew what I'd go through without you
Or how much I need for you to believe in me
But it won't have to be like before
'Cause I don't have to lie anymore

[Chorus]
'Cause this time it's real
The way that I feel about you
Don't walk away 'cause I'm not the same without you
I'm not just fooling around
I promise I won't let you down This time it's real, this time it's real

I finally know why you had to go away
You needed time--something that I couldn't give
But I'm not the same man I've been
And you'll know when I hold you again

[Chorus]
I've only given you half of my heart
But I'll give it all from now on

[Chorus]
