End Of The Road
《spoken》
We belong together
Said we'd be forever
When I can't sleep at night without holding you tight
*
Girl, I know you really love me,
Maybe I'll forgive you, hmm
Can you love me again like you loved me before
*
《spoken》
I'm not out to go out and cheat on you all night
(Lonely)Yes baby my heart is lonely
This time instead just come to my bed
*
*《a cappella》
Girl you know we belong together
I have no time for you to be playing
With my heart like this
You'll be mine forever baby, you just see
And you that I'm right
Why do you play with my heart,
Why do you play with my mind?
Said it'd never die
How could you love me and leave me
And never say good-bye?
Girl, each time I try I just break down and cry
Pain in my head oh I'd rather be dead
Spinnin' around and around
Although we've come to the End Of The Road
Still I can't let you go
It's unnatural, you belong to me, I belong to you
Come to the End of the Road
Still I can't let you go
It's unnatural, you belong to me, I belong to you
You just don't realize
You've never been there before
It's only your first time
Maybe you'll try
We should be happy together
Forever, you and I
This time I want you to love me much more
This time instead just come to my bed
And baby just don't let me, don't let me down
Girl I'm here for you
All those times of night when you just hurt me
And just run out with that other fella
Baby I knew about it, I just didn't care
You just don't understand how much I love you do you?
I'm here for you
Just like you did baby but that's all right
Hey, I love you anyway
And I'm still gonna be here for you 'till my dying day baby
Right now, I'm just in so much pain baby
Coz you just won't come back to me
Will you? Just come back to me
(Lonely)My heart hurts baby
(Lonely)Yes I feel pain too
Baby please
And baby just don't let me go
