So you're back at my door The one you walked out You made a mistake You know that now Will I let you in You're begging me,"please" What's in it for me [Chorus] What's in it for me I've got to ask If it's only more tears Then I'll have to pass If you'll open up Then I can see Deep in your heart What's in it for me Well,I have to admit I'm glad that you're here But I can't make the past Just disappear If you're back for good I want you to be Just let me know What's in it for me [Chorus] Am I a fool To think you've changed Some people do Is that so strange Our love was good It just got off track Is it worth the risk If you come back [Chorus]
