So blind was I not to realize that you needed me.
I'm here to try and give you everything cause you made me see.
Maybe for your love I would cry and maybe for your love I would die.

I'm serious, serious (yeah) oh oh oh

[Chorus]
Cause baby time is not on my side. 
Ive learned to love and with you I cry.
Give anything to be with you somehow.
Settle down maybe for your love.

I've lost you once yeah and I vow that I would never lose you again.
And I would never give up again.
Cause life without you is truly ain't worth living.
