[Intro]
One last time, time, time
One last time, time, time

[Verse 1]
Who am I to say
The hurt you are to feel
The one who has the broken heart
Knows what it takes to heal
But if you understand
The human that I am
Then find it in your heart
The place where lovers start
So we can try again

[Chorus]
Then you can give me one last time
To hold you and make you realize
The love that I have inside
I need to have you
One last time
Here in my arms
I need you in my life
Baby, one last time

[Verse 2]
I know that I was wrong
Though I can't explain
I never meant to break your heart
Or push your love away
But she could never mean
Much of anything
'Cause love is more than physical
It's mental and it's spiritual and
We are spirits needing

[Chorus]
One last time
I wanna hold you and make you realize
The love I have inside
I've gotta have you one last time
Here in my arms
I need you in my life
I was wrong
But I wanna make it right
Just hold on
Believe in love and stay with me tonight
One last time
Who am I to say, the future will reveal

[Outro]
One last time, time, time
One last time, time, time
One last time, time, time
One last time, time, time
One last time, time, time
One last time, time, time
One last time, time, time
One last time, time, time

Brothers Cedric Hailey and Joel Hailey from Monroe, North Carolina make up the duo K-Ci & JoJo, the lead singers and half of the multi-platinum R&B group Jodeci along with brothers Mr. Dalvin and DeVante Swing. After three platinum albums with Jodeci, K-Ci & JoJo branched off and sang hooks for 2Pac on his singles “How Do U Want It” and “Toss It Up” in 1996 before releasing their first album Love Always in 1997. The album featured the #1 hit “All My Life,” which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks and was nominated for two Grammys. Their second album, It’s Real, was released in 1999 and hit platinum status in part due to the success of the single “Tell Me It’s Real,” which peaked at #2 on the Billboard chart. Their third album, X, was released in 2000 and featured the hit “Crazy,” which peaked at #3 on the Hot 100.

The duo released two more albums—2002’s Emotional and 2013’s My Brother’s Keeper—but they didn’t contain any top hits. In 2010, they starred in their own reality show on TVOne titled K-Ci & JoJo…Come Clean which dealt with their alcohol and relationship issues as they attempted a comeback. They reunited with Jodeci to release the album The Past, The Present, The Future in 2015.
