I've got something to tell you baby
In the arc of a love affair
Lies the point of no return
First you lose your self respect
Then you hide all the hurt
Well, I've been here thinkin'
Long enough to figure out
That a change has got to come
And it's all up to you
Be good or be gone
Love me or leave me baby, leave me alone
Cause I can be real bad baby, all by myself
Umm, one day you're gonna find yourself, by yourself
You see the choice is so simple now
Cause there really is no choice to make
I not gonna let you treat me badly
No, I won't be makin' that mistake
And it's all up to you
Be good or be gone
Love me or leave me baby, leave me alone
Cause I can be real bad baby, all by myself
Umm, one day you gonna find yourself, by yourself
Make a decision, make up your mind
Give me my proper respect and baby, don't ever forget
That a real love is precious and rare
But you've got to be ready to give, and ready to share
It's all up to you
Be good or be gone
Love me or leave me baby, leave me alone
Cause I can be real bad baby, all by myself
Umm, one day you gonna find yourself, by yourself
How long, do I have to be this strong
Before you give yourself to me
And how far, do I have to reach in your heart
Before you bring me to my knees
I do believe, I want to be, held safely in your arms
Oh can't you see, a part of me, is in the way you are
But there must be something wrong
I've waited for far too long to let you go
Deep inside I know...
One day soon you're gonna knock on my door
I'll never stop hoping that there could be more
To this love
Can you see me falling?
I feel like I'm invisible
You never seem to find me wherever I am
Just listen, can you hear me calling you?
I'm callin' you
How deep, do I have to go to sleep
Before my shattered heart can dream
And how high, do I have to touch the sky
'Cause in your soul I need to fly
I do believe, I want to be, held safely in your arms
Oh can't you see, a part of me, is in the way you are
But there must be something wrong
I've waited for far too long
To let you go
Deep inside I know...
One day soon you're gonna knock on my door
I'll never stop hoping that there could be more
To this love
Can you see me falling?
I feel like I'm invisible
You never seem to find me wherever I am
Just listen, can you hear me calling you?
You... you... you...
Oh it's time you change your mind or your heart will be in love
I'll never stop hoping that there could be more
To this love
Can you see me fallin'?
I feel like I'm invisible
You never seem to find me wherever I am
Can you hear me calling you?
More to this love
Can you see me, I'm fallin'
You never seem to find me wherever I am
Can you hear me calling you?
I'm callin' you
Can you hear me?
I replay the memories in my mind.
I try to find the answers,
To the questions I find.
I can never seem to work it out.
What goes on inside.
Tell me is it secret?
Or am I just blind.
And the further we go,
The more that I know,
We just can't keep going this way.
If you could only tell me baby what you needed tonight.
Maybe I could do my best to stop you walkin'
out of my life.
If you could only see inside my heart,
You'd know this was right...so right.
If I could just read your mind.
If I could just read your mind.
Oh come on boy, just lay it on the line.
I can wait no longer,
For the right place or right time.
Do I need to spell it out to you?
What more can I say.
Tell me is it over,
Or have we just lost our way.
And the further we go,
The more that I know,
We just can't keep going this way.
If you could only tell me baby what you needed tonight.
Maybe I could do my best to stop you walkin'
out of my life.
If you could only see inside my heart,
You'd know this was right...so right...so right.
If I could just read your mind.
Oh baby, if I could just read your mind.
If you could only,
Maybe I could do my best to stop you walkin'
out of my life.
If you could only see inside my heart,
You'd know this was right...so right...so right.
If I could just read your mind.
If I could just read your mind.
Oh baby.
