I promise myself I'd never deny myself the chance
To feel the warmth of love and it's sweet romance
And I promised I would never find myself this way
Hurt by love, by love

So tell me what this is all about?
Your sudden change and sudden doubt
Baby, I gave you everything I had
Everything you asked of me and more and more

And there are some times, maybe often times
I sit here all alone
Wishing you were home with me
And there's some times, often in my mind
I wish you'd stay away
'Cause I can't take the pain you bring me

Sometimes you'd never loved this way before
Nobody ever gave you what you were looking for

And you told me and you told me
And you told me and you told me
And you told me and you told me
And you told me and you told me

And you told me that no one would ever take my place
Beside you, here beside you

So tell me what this love's all about
'Cause your changing ways I could do without
Baby, I gave you everything I had
Everything you asked of me and more and more

And there are some times, maybe often times
I sit here all alone
Wishing you were home with me
And there's sometimes, often in my mind
I wish you'd stay away
'Cause I can't take the pain you bring me sometimes

I should have known
That this just wouldn't be forever
I feel sometimes I just don't give a damn about it
And I feel that I just can't go on

And there are some times, maybe often times
I sit here all alone
Wishing you were home with me
And there's sometimes, often in my mind
I wish you'd stay away
'Cause I can't take the pain you bring me sometimes

Maybe often times
I sit here all alone
Wishing you were home with me
And there's sometimes, often in my mind
I wish you'd stay away
'Cause I can't take the pain sometimes
