lyrics

Baby, it’s happened again, like so many times before,
One of us angry, one of us crying, both of us eyeing the door.
We kiss and we make up, it’s all good,
But this time, it don’t feel like it should,
I can’t do this anymore.

I know that your past runs deep, you never let it show,
The thought of a man who’s true to you is new to you, I know.
Baby, I know I hurt you, too,
Trying to figure out what to do,
I don’t want to watch you go.

I wanna take you by the hand, I wanna be your only man,
I wanna love you ‘til you can’t go on.
But if I’m gonna be your man, I’ve got to know where I stand,
If you’re not mine by now, it’s time to move on.

How do I figure out a way to make you see
The life you’ve been used to living is worth giving up for me?
I know that you want to have your fun,
but I’m all about one on one,
Baby, tell me what you want from me.

I wanna take you by the hand, I wanna be your only man,
I wanna love you ‘til you can’t go on.
But if I’m gonna be your man, I’ve got to know where I stand,
If you’re not mine by now, it’s time to move on.

I’d love you unconditionally, but you’ve got to give it back to me,
My love is something you can’t just borrow.
It’s time for us to take a stand, I’m placing my heart in your hands,
I’m not asking you for forever, but I damn sure want tomorrow.

If I’m gonna be your man, I’ve got to know where I stand,
If you’re not mine by now, it’s time to move on.
I’ve done everything I can do to show you that my love is true,
If you’re not mine by now…
