Oh I'm sorry, girl
For causing you much pain
Didn't mean to make you cry
Make your efforts all in vain

And I apologize
For all the things I've done
You were loving me so much
But all I did
Was let you down

Oh I really don't know
Just what to say
All I know is that
I want you to stay

This time
I'm not gonna let you slip away
This time
I'm not gonna let another day go by

Without holding you so tight
Without treating you so right

This time
I'm not gonna let go of your love

This time
I promise you
That we'll rise above it all
And I will never
let you fall

I'm gonna give you my all
This time

Oh I never thought
That I was hurting you
Now I know
That I was wrong
Now I know
Just what to do

Gonna try to be
The best that I could be
All I need is one more chance
To make it up to you
You'll see

And there's one more thing
That you ought to know
All I know is that
I don't want you to go

This time
I'm not gonna let you slip away
This time
I'm not gonna let another day go by

Without holding you so tight
Without treating you so right

This time
I'm not gonna let go of your love

This time
I promise you
That we'll rise above it all
And I will never
let you fall

I'm gonna give you my all
This time

We have the same story then.

I can still remember yesterday
We were so in love in a special way
And knowing that you loved me
Makes me feel oh so right

But now I feel lost
Don't know what to do
Each and every day
I think of you

Holding back the tears
I'm trying with all might

Because you've gone
And left me
Standing all alone

And I know I've got
To face tomorrow
On my own

But baby . . .
Before I let you go
I want to say
I love you

I hope that you're listenin'
'Coz it's true, baby
You'll be forever in my heart
And I know that
No one else will do

I wish that
It could be
Just like before

I know I could have
Given you so much more
Even though you know
I'd given you all my love

I miss your smile
I miss your kiss
Each and every day I reminisce

'Coz baby it's you
That I'm always dreaming of

Because you've gone
And left me
Standing all alone

So baby . . .
Before I let you go
I want to say
I love you

'Coz letting love go
Is never easy
But I love you so
That's why I'll set you free

And I know
Someday,
Somehow,
I'll find a way
To leave it all behind me

I guess it wasn't
meant for me

But baby . . .
Before I let you go
I want to say
I love you!
