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
