I've played my part and it's over

I'm tired of being strong

By hiding that I'm not

(Yeah)

Don't get me wrong

You've played your part

And I think you know

This love's for real

It's time to show just how I feel

Time after time

I refuse to see why

I can't go on without you by my side

Baby I just wanted you to know

That if you care you could be

part of my life

Baby don't you know we could

be doing this forever and be doing alright

(Yeah)

Time after time

This moment's been on my mind

Now I've left it behind

(Oh)

Don't get me wrong

(Yeah)

Don't get me wrong

You bruised my heart and it's aching

It won't take you long

To see that I'm in pain

Don't get me wrong

If you run off now you sure

be mistaking

This love's for real

And baby this is how I feel it

yeah

Time after time I've been

trying to deny

I can't go on without you

by my side

(Don't get me wrong)

Baby I just wanted you to know

That if you care you could be

part of my life

Baby don't you know that we could

be doing this forever and be doing alright

Time after time

This moment's been on my mind

Now I've left it behind

Just don't get me wrong

Don't get me wrong

No no baby

(Ooh yeah)

Time after time

I've been trying to deny

I need the nearness of you

To get by

*Chorus* 2x

Baby I just wanted you to know

That if you care you could be

part of my life

Baby don't you know that we could

be doing this forever and be doing alright

Time after time

This moment's been on my mind

Now I've left it behind (second time 2x)

Don't get me wrong
