I been hurt before
'cause he took my everything
that I ever loved
he took away my wings
so if you want me now
you gotta promise me
that you'll never be
the one who damaged me
All I wanna do is be with you
I'll promise you the world if you're my girl
waste no time to make you mine
damn pretty girl, you're lookin' fine
movin' too fast, let's take it slow
baby girl, I love you so
tell me what you wanna do
I'm real when I say I'm here for you
let me love you, let me kiss you
sexy body, damn I need you
now you know just how I feel
ask myself, are you for real?
my heart awaits your warm embrace
can't wait to see your lovely face
come on girl, let's get together
silly, you're just mad forever
I been hurt before
'cause he took my everything
that I ever loved
he took away my wings
so if you want me now
you gotta promise me
that you'll never be
the one who damaged me
Now I don't blame you
we've all had our heartaches
lovin' with good times
but that don't mean that I call it quits
with everybody you meet
believe me, I know
I been there
and done that
been through what you felt
I've tasted my pain also
but that don't mean love ain't out there for us to have it
to hold somebody close again
I know its hard but
there's a lot more smiles than tears, girl
too many good times for us
to think about those bad years
I been hurt before
'cause he took my everything
that I ever loved
he took away my wings
so if you want me now
you gotta promise me
that you'll never be
the one who damaged me
(Why won't you let me?)
You know that I can't
(Why won't you believe me?)
I heard it before
he told me he loved me
looked into my eyes
and I was so stupid
I trusted his lies
I promise I never, ever make you cry
You got me so twisted
For you I will die
Too many chances
(You gotta trust me)
It's always the same
(Then why you blame it on me?)
