There is a chance I could be losing you.
Gotta let my love surround you.
Can't go down without a fight.
And I won't hurt you girl, I promise you.

It's the pain, I'm living for you .
It's a broken dream but I still adore you.
Why, why,when the feelings gone.
(you can't explain, we live in sun, we live in rain).

Free me or leave me .
I will always forgive you.
For you are my moments and you are my hours.
Forever I live you.

Love me or lose me.
You will be my desire
There ain't nobody taking this heart that you're breaking.
And no one can take me no higher.

There is a reason why this world is round.
There's a fire all around you.
I'm just following the light.
I'll never be the one to make you cry.

It's the tears I'm crying for you.
I'm a broken man but I still adore you.
Why, why when the woman's gone.
(you can't explain, we live in sun, we live in rain).

Free me or leave me.
I will always forgive you.
For you are my moments and you are my hours.
Forever I live you.

Love me or lose me.
You will be my desire.
There ain't nobody taking this heart that you're breaking.
And no one can take me much higher.

Free me or leave me...
