[CHORUS X2]

[VERSE 1]
For all the years that I've known you baby
I can't figure out the reason why lately you've been acting so cold
(didn't you say)
If there's a problem we should work it out
So why you giving me the cold shoulder now
Like you don't even wanna talk to me girl
(tell me)
Ok I know I was late again
I made you mad and then it's throwing the pan
But why are you making this drag on so long
(i wanna know)
I'm sick and tired of this silly games
(silly games)
Don't figure that I'm the only one here to blame
It's not me here who's been going round slamming doors
That's when you turned and said to me
I don't care babe who's right or wrong
I just don't love you no more.

[CHORUS]
Rain outside my window pouring down
What now, your gone, my fault, I'm sorry
Feeling like a fool cause I let you down
Now it's, too late, to turn it around
I'm sorry for the tears I made you cry
I guess this time it really is goodbye
You made it clear when you said
I just don't love you no more

[VERSE 2]
I know that I made a few mistakes
But never thought that things would turn out this way
Cause I'm missing something now that your gone
(I see it all so clearly)
Me at the door with you inner state
(inner state)
Giving my reasons but as you look away
I can see a tear roll down your face
That's when you turned and said to me
I don't care babe who's right or wrong
I just don't love you no more.

[CHORUS]
Rain outside my window pouring down
What now, your gone, my fault, I'm sorry
Feeling like a fool cause I let you down
Now it's, too late, to turn it around
I'm sorry for the tears I made you cry
I guess this time it really is goodbye
You made it clear when you said
I just don't love you no more

[BRIDGE]
Don't say those words it's so hard
They turn my whole world upside down
Girl you caught me completely off guard
On the night you said to me
I just don't love you more.

[CHORUS 2X]
Rain outside my window pouring down
What now, your gone, my fault, I'm sorry
Feeling like a fool cause I let you down
Now it's, too late, to turn it around
I'm sorry for the tears I made you cry
I guess this time it really is goodbye
You made it clear when you said

i stepped into the club
clocked this fly girl
shakin her stuff now

never seen a girl quite like this before now
tryin to figure out what i gotta do
to get the chance to spend a moment with you

cause girl your lookin so damn fly tonight
and i know i'd like to take you there all right
but you got to breakin all of the rules
so keep doin what your doin
oh baby

shes so hypnotic
the way she moves on the floor

the way shes makin me feel i shouldnt want it
but this girl shes so sexy
so hypnotic

chorus

thought id seen everything in the world
but that all changed for me tonight
from the moment i looked
in your eyes girl
you blew my mind

i know its crazy
but don't get me wrong
i just gotta have you in my life girl

Mmm yeah oh girl Mmm yeah oh yeah

We used to be inseparable, now the love has gone
That's the reason why, why you and I can't get along
And even though I knew what you had done to me
I never planned to cheat I guess both of us been weak.. yeah
Cards throw em down we been fooling round guess we're both to blame
Nothing to talk about girl it freaked me out the night you called his name
Mmm not coming home till the early morn' what am I supposed to say
Relationships are based on trust so with us it's obvious

Why don't we go our separate ways
Just realise we've nothing left to say
Neither of us wants to compromise
Too many secrets, jealousy and lies.

It seems that we been messing 'round ain't being straight
You say that we should work it out but it's far too late
Being honest girl when all said and done got some things to face
There's nothing left to lose but so much time to waste yeah
What's the point in playing playing games with me
We ain't gotta lie
You might as well just pack our bags and just say goodbye
Only human girl we both made mistakes but it ain't no use
I think we should call it quits cos we can't go on like this.

Why don't we go our separate ways
Just realise we've nothing left to say
Neither of us wants to compromise
Too many secrets, jealousy and lies

I don't even know why we've been tripping for so long
It's not like we both don't understand what's right from wrong
Seems like we cant get along no more so why don't we just go
Shut the door as there ain't no love here anymore?

Why don't we go our separate ways
Just realise we've nothing left to say
Neither of us wants to compromise
Too many secrets, jealousy and lies [repeat]

(Girl I'd like to know)
What else is left for us to say
(girl I'd like to know)
'cos I can't se any other way
(girl I'd like to know)
Why did we let each other down
(girl I'd like to know)
I wanna know I wanna know
(girl I'd like to know)
If it all started with a kiss
(girl I'd like to know)
Why did it have to end like this
(girl I'd like to know)

Its another day in school and he's jus walking out the door,
Got his rucksack on his back and his feet dragging on the floor,
Always late for when he's questioned he cant think of what to say,
"How's the bruises?" from the teachers, hoping that they go away,
Even tho his mom and dad they both got problems of their own,
Called a nut case at 22 but he still rather be at home,
Cries himself to sleep and prays when he wakes up things might have changed,
But everything still the same.....

But didnt you say, you always said that I should speak up hmm
But it seems like all the things you said to me before were nothing at all
because

Chorus
I keep tellin you that johnny's hitting me thats why i'm late for school, (but
you never listen),
Instead you always seem to end up blaming me for things I didnt do (for what
it's worth),
I didnt even want to tell you anything in case it made things worse (jus so you
know),
Everytime I say that johnny's hitting me, hey mom and dad it hurts

Every day keeps on repeating like a record on replay, slowly getting off the bus
with johnny waiting at the gates,
Like a friend who will smile away but then be calling out his name,
Put his arm around his neck,whisper "now give me all your change!",
To afraid to make a scene or plea with him to letting go,
He jus takes whatevers comin feels the pain with every blow,
Tries to blame himself to make himself hurt soon as he gets home,
But everything still the same....

But didnt you say, you always said that I should speak up hmm
But it seems like all the things you said to me before were nothing at all
because

Chorus
I keep tellin you that johnny's hitting me that's why i'm late for school (but
you never listen),
Instead you always seem to end up blaming me for things I didn't do (for what
its worth),
I didnt want to tell you anything in case it made things worse (jus so you no),
Everytime I say that johnny's hitting me, hey mom and dad it hurts

You always said that I should speak up hmm,
And to never be afraid to come and tell you if I needed to talk (find me there
to talk),
Well I dont know the meaning of love hmm,
Coz it seems like all the things you said to me before were nothing at allll,,,
Becozz

Chorus
I keep tellin you that johnny's hitting me thats why i'm late for school (but
you never listen),
Instead you always seem to end up blaming me for things I didnt do (for what
it's worth),
I didnt want to tell you anything in case it made things worse (jus so you no),

Mmmmm no ohhh ah yeah

Just one day
If I could hold you in my arms
Close to my heart where you belong
Love of my life you really are
Still be showering you with kisses like snow in winter
Remember back in the day we were like best of friends
But we were falling in love we never could pretend
Night after night we used to talk about me and you
The things we'd do together forever?

Do you believe in love?
And the promise that it brings
That you'll never grow apart
Well that's what she said to me
Why did you have to go?
We were inseparable
You and me will always be together for eternity

Just one day
If I could touch your face again
Words can't describe how I'm feeling
If I could turn back the hands of time
I'd still be holding on wishes that you left behind
Remember moments when there was nothing better than
A stroll in the park walking hand in hand
I'll never forget the times we talked about me and you
The things we do together forever

Do you believe in love?
And the promise that it brings
That you'll never grow apart
Well that's what she said to me
Why did you have to go?
We were inseparable
You and me will always be together for eternity

The words you said to me before you slipped away
Are still with me girl to this very day yeah
In everything I do to everything I say
You'll always be the sunshine in my life
And yes I believe in love

Do you believe in love?
And the promise that it brings
That you'll never grow apart
Well that's what she said to me
Why did you have to go?
We were inseparable

One last dance with you
Even though what we have is strong
Both of us know that we've done wrong
You could lose everything
Need to give it up
Just one last dance with you
For all the moments that we shared
All the lies they don't compare
You gotta go back to him, and I realize that
Every time I see your face I know
There's a part of me that can't bear to let you go

And I would give my heart
Give you the world, risk losing everything I got
I'd give it all to you
Though I don't wanna stop
I know it's the right thing to do.....yeah

One last dance with you
So hard to find the words to say
But I can't see any other way
Girl you've risked everything
Time to give it up
Just one last dance with you
And though it breaks my heart to leave
We both know it's time to let it breathe
You gotta go back to him, girl I realize that
Every time I see your face I know
There's a part of me that can't bear to let you go

And I would give my heart
Give you the world, risk losing everything I got
I'd give it all to you
Though I don't wanna stop
I know it's the right thing to do.....yeah

So many times we tried to hold back
We been here before now girl
And it feels so cruel, yeah
A million tears won't change the fact that
I find it hard to play the game
When I feel like i'm the one to blame

But I would give my heart
Give you the world, risk losing everything I got
I'd give it all to you
Though I don't wanna stop
I know it's the right thing to do.....yeah

And I would give my heart
Give you the world, risk losing everything I got
I'd give it all to you
And make our peace with god

Always said I would know where to find love
Always thought I'd be ready and strong enough
But sometimes I just felt I could give up
But you came and you changed my whole world now
I'm somewhere I've never been before
Now I see
What love means

It's so unbelievable
And I don't wanna let it go
It's something so beautiful
Flowin down like a waterfall
I feel like you've always been
Forever a part of me
And its so unbelievable
To finally be in love
Somewhere I never thought id be

In my heart in my head its so clear now
On my hand you've got nothin' to fear now
I was lost and you've rescued me somehow
I'm alive I'm in love you complete me
And I've never been here before
Now I see
What love means

When I think of what I have
And this chance I nearly lost

Verse 1

Repeat Chorus

Bridge

Girl you know this mans got his eyes on you.
Temperature rise, can you feel it too?
When I look at you, no I lose my cool.
Oh baby, I can't help it.

[Verse 1:]
You were the one
?? me and you, we got something strong
But even I can tell when somethings going on
You see my best friend and you aint being straight
You two been hanging out while I been working late
And last night when we all went out to the club
Like it wasn't enough
You and him flirting and stuff, No...
Thats when he took you aside
His hand all up on your thighs, baby
I see everything clearer now...

[Chorus:]
When I was gonna trip the alarm
Girl, I can see through his charm
So I know when I'm out making dough
He be calling you on the low
Things you don't expect from a friend
And thats why I don't understand
Cause you know what's up
But he let me down

Nigga steal the keys to my range
Credit cards in need for my name
When it comes to you
Girl, it aint the same
Cause it causes too much pain
Thought he could keep it all out of site
He was like a thief in the night
Cause you know whats up
But he let me down

[Verse 2:]
I had enough and now ??
To get a few things off my mind
Cause I can see right through your crying, girl
You must think that I'm blind, Ohh...
And even know I don't want to
I just can't ignore the signs
And If you knew how much it hurts me
I wouldn't try to waste my time

Girl thats when you said (because I love you)
I don't believe (theres no one but you)
Mmm... cause I know you've used those words, girl
A million times before

[Chorus:]
When I was gonna trip the alarm
Girl, now I can see through his charm
So I know when I'm out making dough
He be calling you on the low
Things you don't expect from a friend
And thats why I don't understand
Cause you know what's up
But he let me down

Nigga steal the keys to my range
Credit cards in need for my name
When it comes to you
Girl, it aint the same
Cause it causes too much pain
Thought he could keep it all out of site
He was like a thief in the night
Cause you know whats up
But he let me down

[Bridge:]
Now I don't know what I'm gonna do, Oh Yeah (don't know what to do)
Never delt with something quite like this before in my life (never delt with
something quite like this)
It weren't suppose to be this way
You both disappointed me (dissapointed me)
Knew something was wrong
But it took me so long to see, girl
Ooohh....... Yeah

[Chorus x2:]
When I was gonna trip the alarm
Girl, now I can see through his charm
So I know when I'm out making dough
He be calling you on the low
Things you don't expect from a friend
And thats why I don't understand
Cause you know what's up
But he let me down

Nigga steal the keys to my range
Credit cards in need for my name
When it comes to you
Girl, it aint the same
Cause it causes too much pain
Thought he could keep it all out of site
He was like a thief in the night
Cause you know whats up
But he let me down

Oh yeah...
You know whats up, but he let me down...

I've been knowin you
You've been knowin me
But I aint took the chance to
Tell you what I want
Girl its been too long
And I can't go on
Can't be actin like I dont care
Cause I rolled with you
I grew up with you
My momma used to sit you
When your moms werent home
Always friends with you
Never stepped to you
But now its time that i
Start makin love to you

Time passes by
For more than a lifetime
I want to be yours girl
I would give up my life
To spend just one night with you
Cause my love don't stop
I can't lie
You bring out the best in me
I got to be yours girl
I would give up my life
Theres nothin that I won't do
Cause my love don't stop

Theres a part of me
That wants us to be
Just the way we are
So we don't mess things up
But its killin me
Cause the rest of me
Wants to feel your body baby
Wants to tear it up
I'll do some things to you
No one else can do
Cause maybe im the one
To make you feel real good
Bein friends is cool
But now its time that I
Start makin love to you

Chorus

Girl its been so long
I know it can't be wrong
Cause theres never been
No one but you
And girl there never will
You won't go back no more *
There's no one disguised *
Can't be yours despite *
Girl i've watched you
Get hurt too many times
But I can make you
All I can do

Verse 1

I can sit and try to figure out the reasons why, you were always going out
alone.
I thought that you were meeting with some other guy, all those times you weren't
at home.
I was wrong but then I didn't understand, what you were trying to say to me.
I thought that you were busy making other plans, none of those including me.

But then I always had, too many insecurities.
Why didn't I just decide to let it be?

Chorus

I never should have walked away.
I should've been there for you babe.
I know I handled this all wrong.
I swear, I didn't know.
Things are never gonna be the same,
and I don't want no one to blame.
I've gone and left you torn, baby(Well I didn't know)

Verse 2

I remember it so clear when I got the call,
it was the hospital on the phone.
They told me how you slipped and had a nasty fall,
and would I come and take you home.
Now that was bad enough but they had more to say,
felt like the words came out so slow.
"I'm afraid she lost the baby, but she'll be ok."
and I didn't even know.

But now I see I should've been there from the start,
instead of letting it all fall apart.

Repeat Chorus

Bridge

I didn't know what was wrong.
Girl I didn't know.

Verse 3

I hope you know I never meant to hurt you girl,
but I was way too blind to see,
that you were only trying to protect me girl,
I wish you'd had more faith in me.
Now I realize that I've let you down,
and you have reasons to act that way.
I thought that you were cheating when you weren't around,
thats why I had to walk away.

But girl looking back, in spite of all that we've been through,
I'm asking is there still a chance for me and you?

You were her only girl
The most precious thing in her world
And I know it makes you cry
That you never got to say goodbye

You were just running out of time
To say what was on your mind
You never wanted her to leave
And mom I know it makes you grief

But why don't you celebrate the moments that you shared yeah
'Cuz now she's watching over you
It's true
And you know it too

[CHORUS]
Just let her go...
If you can't take the pain
Of a broken heart
Just let her go...

I know it feels as though hope is gone
And it hurts to think of moving on
But she'd never want to see you sad
Even though I know this hurts so bad

Devoted a life to you
And helped raise the grandson too
And now I hope you realize
That I'll always be there by your side

But why don't we celebrate the moments that we shared yeah
'Cuz now she's watching over you
It's true
And you know it too

[CHORUS]

You never knew how much she tried to fight it
And when you needed her around she'd be there
But you can reassure yourself that she's at ease
And that's why it's time for you
To...

[CHORUS]

If you can't take the pain
Of a broken heart
Just let her go... (just let her go, let her go)

If you can't take the pain
Of a broken heart
Just let her go... (just let her go, let her)
