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
We got it all and we'd be fools to let it go
'Cos I need you more and more
You're my life and I live
For your love that you give
Although my journey's long
I'll soon be home
It's gonna be so hard on my own
But I won't be alone
Cross my heart and tell no lies
No one's leaving you behind
Just because we said goodbye, baby
Cross my heart I do believe
In my thoughts and in my dreams
I'll be taking you with me, baby
Sometimes I think
That I can feel you breathin' on me
You're there so deep inside
And I like, what I feel
Though it's not always real
It helps me carry on, till I come home
It's gonna be so hard on my own
But I won't be alone
Cross my heart and tell no lies
No one's leaving you behind
Just because we aid goodbyte, baby
Cross my heart I do believe
In my thoughts and in my dreams
I'll be taking you with me, baby
(Dream a dream a dream a dream a dreamin')
Wherever you are you're near me
Whatever I say, I cross my heart
Cross my heart and tell no lies
No one's leaving you behind, baby
Just because we aid goodbye, baby
I Cross my heart I do believe
In my thoughts and in my dreams
I'll be taking, I'll be taking you with me
I cross my heart, baby
I cross my heart, I do believe
In my thoughts and in my dreams
I'll be takin' you with me
Cross my heart...
Whatever I say
Cross my heart
