[Verse 1]
It's just a fraction of time
Until we move in reverse
Can feel the pressure on all our minds
And the whole Universe
Is it a question of force?
A metaphysical law?
We've had this battle a thousand times
Never been here before
And never been here before

[Chorus 1]
Ain't got the strength to fight anymore
Got no desire to die anymore
I need an affirmation
I want to see you again, again, again
Ain't got the strength to fight anymore
Don't even know what I'm fighting you for
I need an affirmation
(I need an affirmation)

[Verse 2]
We're at the end of the line
At the start of the race
I want to swim where the water falls
Off the edge of your face
I'm reaching out for the light
Past the silhouette of you
In the cold reflection of time
Is a point of view
Is a point of view
Can you see me, like I see you?
Can you see me, like I see you?

[Chorus 1]
Ain't got the strength to fight anymore
Got not desire to die anymore
I need an affirmation
I wanna see you again, again, again
Ain't got no strength to fight anymore
Don't even know what I'm fighting you for
I need an affirmation
(I need an affirmation)

[Verse 3]
I wanna fill you with love
I wanna see you survive
Just take a second to know yourself
For the rest of your life
We're just a minute away
From the place that we wanna be
We're not really falling appart, we're just incomplete
We're not really falling appart, we're just incomplete
We're just incomplete
We're just incomplete

[Chorus 2]
I need an affirmation
(I need an affirmation)
I need an affirmation
(I need an affirmation)
I need an affirmation
(I need an affirmation)
I need an affirmation
I wanna see you again, again, again, again, again

One of Britain’s most successful boy bands, Take That are an English pop group from Manchester, formed in 1990. The group currently consists of Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, and Mark Owen. The original line-up also featured Jason Orange and Robbie Williams.

Back in the 90s, they achieved unparalleled success, recording three albums which topped the UK Everything Changes and Nobody Else and Greatest Hits. Some of their biggest hits from then include “Back for Good”, “Pray”, “Everything Changes”, “A Million Love Songs” as well as covers of “Relight My Fire” by Dan Hartman and “It Only Takes a Minute” by Tavares.

Their popularity was unsurpassed in Britain. But tensions started growing and Robbie Williams left the band in 1995. The group disbanded the following year after the four remaining members completed their world tour.
