[Verse 1]
Our love is ending
We're leaving our best behind
I guess we stopped pretending
Things are gonna work out fine
I just wanted you to know
I'd risk it all
I'd find a way to make love stay
Everybody's searching for that special lover
Someone who cares, always be there
Love's walking out of my life
Look like I'm gonna be alone tonight
Just let me sing it
[Chorus]
One time for the lonely
And then once again
For all the fools like me
Fools that fall in love
[Verse 2]
Oh, I still need you
You're always on my mind
I tried so hard to please you
In the best and the worst of times
I don't know where we went wrong
I'll miss your love when it's gone, gone
This old heartbeat is aching
I'm trying to stay strong
But I can hear the sound that it's breaking
Still I keep holding on
Anyone who's been in love
Would risk it all
If they could find a way to make love stay
Everybody's searching for that special lover
Someone to care, always be there
So if love is treating you right
If you're gonna be alone tonight
Let me sing it
[Chorus]
One time for the lonely
Came in and then once again
For all the fools like me
Fools that fall in love, mmm yeah, yeah
[Bridge]
You know I need you, baby
You're my life, yeah
Don't you know I'll miss you, baby
Day and night
Oh, don't, don't lay, hey baby
Open up your heart, let me back in
Let me in
[Chorus Outro]
One time for the lonely
And once again
For all the fools like me
Fools that fall in love, whoa whoa
One time for the lonely, whoa whoa oh
For all the fools like me
Fools that fall in love
Our love is ending
We're leaving our best behind
I guess we stopped pretending
Things are gonna work out fine
I just wanted you to know
I'd risk it all
I'd find a way to make love stay
Everybody's searching for that special lover
Someone who cares, always be there
Love's walking out of my life
Look like I'm gonna be alone tonight
Just let me sing it
[Chorus]
One time for the lonely
And then once again
For all the fools like me
Fools that fall in love
[Verse 2]
Oh, I still need you
You're always on my mind
I tried so hard to please you
In the best and the worst of times
I don't know where we went wrong
I'll miss your love when it's gone, gone
This old heartbeat is aching
I'm trying to stay strong
But I can hear the sound that it's breaking
Still I keep holding on
Anyone who's been in love
Would risk it all
If they could find a way to make love stay

For all the fools like me
Fools that fall in love
