This Time

Maybe I'm on Rocky Mountain time
But I don't know what's up with you
We could fake it out, say hey
never mind
But someday livin' loose will
get to you
And you say baby please, I'm
cryin tears
Will I hear it deep inside of me
Maybe you'll decide you're
outta here
Anything can happen, anything
can be
This time
You can't walk away
Gotta have you say
Make it clear
This time
Gonna face your fears
Share your tears
For love my dear
Sad attacks
Roll'em off my back
I don't know babe how to be so blue
I can lose my mind
I can do hard time
But it scares me if I'm outta sync
with you
I'm going to extremes
To show a gentle man
You know I'm not as hard
as you believe
Try for you, and cry for you
Never call me heartless, when I try
the hardest
This time
You can't walk away
Gotta have you say
Make it clear
This time
Gonna face your fears
Share your tears
For love my dear
This time
I won't turn away
>From the love that's here
The love I needed
This time
I won't let you down
I won't play around
I swear my dear
Ain't no doubt
People live in fear
Turn away, no see no hear
Sayin' I don't know
What happened officer
I wanna be the perfect witness
Baby do we care to see it?
Show some heart
Maybe come a time
When love will come apart
We're living here
I will make it clear
Silence is a lie
To tell the truth I'm tryin'
