Why do lovers drift apart?
And how does love fade away?
When do pieces of a broken heart mend again?
You've been crying in the dark
And you've been feeling alone
Don't be scared of what you'll find when you turn the light on

Ain't nobody gonna say goodbye
No, ain't nobody gonna walk away
This time, baby, I'm a-learning how to love you, love you
Ain't nobody gonna make you cry
No, ain't nobody ever really tried to love you
Like I love you

What sad memory of yesterday, what terrible scar
Keeps you gathering pieces of your shattered heart
There was once upon a time when hope was living within
I know there will come a time when you can believe again

Ain't nobody gonna say goodbye
No, ain't nobody gonna walk away
This time, baby, I'm a-learning how to love you, love you
Ain't nobody gonna make you cry
No, ain't nobody ever really tried to love you
Like I love you

How long have you been feeling lonely?
How long have you been feeling sad and blue?

This time, baby, I'm a-learning how to love you, love you
Ain't nobody gonna make you cry
No, ain't nobody ever really tried to love you
Like I love you 

This time, baby, I'm a-learning how to love you, love you
Let me love you like I love you
