You may not know this baby
You don't know that I love you more than anything
But then along the way
Sometimes we take things for granted
Never stop to question why, no no no
Down the road mistakes will be made, yeah yeah yeah
No matter sometimes we try

I'm not perfect and I don't pretend to be
My heart is willing but my structure sometimes won't listen to me
I wanna be good to you, be there for you
'Cause you've always been straight with me, ain't it love
Never wanna leave you lonely, no

And with this long lost joy I found
I throw everything in, nothing to hide from you, no
I provide for you, what's right for you
And you never hear me complain or falter never again, no

Now you may have some secrets
That you're so longing to share
There's no better time to say it, oh babe
Let's talk about it and leave it right here

I know we're not perfect and I don't expect you to be
You're just a woman with a human ability
But you can be good to me and if I'm good to you
Everything will be just fine, ain't it love
Never wanna leave you lonely no

And with this long lost joy I found
I throw everything in, nothing to hide from you
I provide for you, what's right for you
You never hear me complain or falter never again no no no

Sometimes we take things for granted oh yeah
Never stop to question why, no
Down the road mistakes will be made, ah yeah
No matter sometimes we try

I'm not perfect and I don't pretend to be
My heart is willing but my structure sometimes won't listen to me
I wanna be good to you, be there for you
'Cause you've always been straight with me, ain't it love
Never wanna leave you lonely, no

I never wanna leave you lonely
