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]
