But I can't let you go We used to love and party Now all we do is argue I tell myself I don't want you no more So much love and hurt And hate, people screaming it won't work Time to time I say I'm gonna leave Damn the world, it's just me and my girl

Nobody said it was easy Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry You don't know how lovely you are I had to find you, tell you I need you Tell you I'll set you apart Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions Oh let's go back to the start Running in

Did you let me go For the good life Get you one night in the sun Oh, baby I'm going on When the laureate could tell us why And no preacher could decide Tell me now, oh, baby I'm going on When there is no map, no good advice And no road to paradise

Not your regular, tell you what, let me touch And I wouldn't be me if I didn't get a little nasty Na na na na na na na I know you're tired of the usual, usual, usual I can give you more than the usual You gon' feel something unusual, unusual, unusual I'm

I felt it all, just like a cannonball You know I can't stand no more You're tellin' lies, so don't you criticize Yeah I got used, all messed up and abused You let me down, with all your runnin' round Still you pretend and try to call me friend Don't say

It's a love without end, amen Let me tell you a secret about a father's love A secret that my daddy said was just between us He said daddies don't just love their children every now and then I got sent home from school one day with a shiner on my eye

Like one more time if our love ever grows cold And this new thrill somehow grows old Oh, when forever for us is no more Don't tell our friends, baby Let me be the first to know When you no longer care When my dreams, you no longer share Tell me before it

Oh baby, baby Show me, how you want it to be Tell me baby 'Cause I need to know now what we've got Hit me baby one more time How was I supposed to know That something wasn't right here I shouldn't have let you go

Clouds and clowns You don't have to come down Tell it like it is You don't have to die before you live Life, woo ooo, life, woo ooo You might get angry sometimes But don't let it turn you around All you gotta do is get your livin' now

Only you, the only one that stole my heart away. There can only be, you for me. You, turned me inside out and you showed me. What life was about. Let me tell you now All that's on my mind. For a love like yours. Is oh, so very hard to find.
