Love came to me that day Stayed longer than I planned But change is good, they say So I rearranged my world for them For her and love and, here I go again I spoke to my heart Said, "Open up wide" Then got the message you had changed your mind And now here I am and I just don't understand Baby, if you talk to me then I will listen There can't be no "us" honey, if "you" are missin' Yes I love you, yes I need you Ain't no world for me without you I want you, I'm just too proud to beg So sad the journey made So high the price we have to pay All for love... And it hurts you anyway I can't lose my soul to hope and wishing You don't understand me, I know that you think... I don't love you, I don't need you But, my intentions are to love you See, I want you, I'm just too proud... To beg for your love So don't put me through it Take a little time to think about what you're doing And try to understand why... Yes I love you, yes I need you Ain't no world for me without you I want you, I'm just too proud to beg So sad the journey made So high the price we have to pay All for love... And it hurts you anyway
