Lyrics:
Time, it needs time
To win back your love again
I will be there, I will be there
Love, only love
Can bring back your love someday
I will be there, I will be there
Refrain
I’ll fight, babe, I’ll fight
To win back your love again
I will be there, I will be there
Love, only love
Can bring back your love someday
I will be there, I will be there
I’ll fight, babe, I’ll fight
To win back your love again
I will be there, I will be there
Love, only love
Can bring back your love someday
I will be there, I will be there
If we’d go again
All the way from the start
I would try to change
The things that killed our love
Your pride has built a wall, so strong
That I can’t get through
Is there really no chance
To start once again?
I’m loving you
Refrain
If we’d go again
All the way from the start
I would try to change
The things that killed our love
Yes, I’ve hurt your pride, and I know
What you’ve been through
You should give me a chance
This can’t be the end
I’m still loving you, I’m still loving you
I’m still loving you
