Darling, can't you see
What losing you has done to me?
I'm not the same girl I used to be
Have a chance of heart
Don't leave me standing in the dark
Don't let delusion keep us apart
Come back to me
And I'll guarantee
All the tenderness and love you'll ever need

This time I'll be sweeter
Our love will run around
I won't let you down
Have faith I'm me

Since you've been away
I haven't seen the light of day
I'm lost without you can't find my away
So won't you please be fair
And let me show how much I care
Say you'll be mine and answer my prayer
Come back to me
And I promise I'll be
Everything that's bright and new your whole life through

This time I will be sweeter
Our love will run deeper
I won't mess around
I won't let you down
Have faith in me
