I only wanted someone to love
But something happened on the way to heaven
It got a hold of me and wouldn't let go
And I want you back
How many times I'm gonna say I'm sorry?
(How many times?)

But I'm not leaving less you come with me
We've had our problems but I'm on your side
You're all I need, please believe me
You can run, and you can hide

We've had our problems but I'm on your side
You're all I need, let me show you

You're all I need, please believe me
You can run, and you can hide
But I'm not leaving 'til it's all over
We've had our problems but I'm on your side
You're all I need, please believe in me
