You know it feels nice
To have you on my side, oh
When everything is dark and lonely
It's hard for me to tell you, baby
That I want you here beside me, dear
Don't wander so far from here
You take the hardest part of leaving
You make it so hard to believe in
Ooh
Oh, you know it takes a lifetime
Oh, the wage of falling in love
You know it takes your whole heart, oh, ooh
I thought that I was wise
And I tell myself I'm right, oh
No matter how it hurts to breathe in
I'll take the pieces from the earth
Oh, can't you see what you're worth?
So long as you can trust me, I'll do
Anything it takes to see you
Ooh
Oh, you know it takes a lifetime
Oh, the wage of falling in love
You know it takes your whole heart oh, ooh
I'll never fake a smile just to please you oh
Wishing for the wishing well
Oh
Ooh
Oh, you know it takes a lifetime
Oh, the wage of falling in love
You know it takes your whole heart
Oh, ooh
