The day you walked into my life
Was like a hurricane inside
I couldn't walk, I couldn't talk
It happened to me
I took you deep inside my world
I made you want to be my girl
You couldn't walk, you couldn't talk
You know it happened to you
Well let me tell you now
Hard times happen
Can you hear fate saying
Told you so, look at you now
Do you really wanna wanna
give in, give in, Lord?
This time around
There's no way I can let you down
Cause I'm here and I plan to stay
I've seen the other side
Your light shines brighter than the best
I want you for the rest of my days
Thought I was better off alone
Keep it simple, I've been told
Cut the line, you'll have more
time for fooling around
But I was blind to let you go
I came back to let you know
I couldn't walk, I couldn't talk,
without my baby by my side
Hard times happen
Can you hear fate saying
Told you so, look at you now
Do you really wanna wanna
give in, give in, Lord?
This time around
There's no way I can let you down
Cause I'm here and I plan to stay
I've seen the other side
Your light shines brighter than the best
I want you for the rest of my days
I am no saint
I know you think I could never change
Another hopeless case in Hollywood
But you've saved me from myself
You've conquered me
And I will have nothing less than all of you
Help me momma, it's cold outside
Oh this time around
There's no way I can let you down
Cause I'm here and I plan to stay
Oh I've seen, I've seen the other side
Your light shines brighter than the best
I want you for the rest of my days
I want you for the rest of my days, baby
I want you for the rest of my days, baby
I said I'm sorry
I'm sorry, sorry, sorry
There's no way I can let you down
Your light shines brighter than the best
There's no way I can let you down
Your light shines brighter than the best
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry baby
