If this love is real And time alone will tell If you're givin' me a chance I've been asking myself some questions But I can't seem to find the answers So I guess time alone will tell If you're givin' me a raw chance When I lay in bed cold at night You're not there to make things right Makes me wonder Do you still remember That I'm still for a month So you'll be honest If I ask you one question Would you, would you, would you I'm so afraid I don't even wanna mention Cause it might take me through But what I do know What I do know But what is to be Has got to be It's time you and I Set ourselves free I'll be alone But you won't let me love you Then you wanna be keen Baby All along I've been wanting To hold you tight In the middle Of the night Everybody needs love Everybody needs love Everybody needs love Everybody needs love Wake up early in the morning Feeling so sad I know what you're coming to say You need someone like me To hold you tight Squeeze you tight In the middle Of the night You won't cry now And feel so shy
