So sad but there's nothing that I can do
Baby so bad, you forget every word I've
spoken to you
Now is when it touches you down inside
Why? Are you looking for someplace to hide?

You gotta hold back to tears
I've shown you the best of love
Maybe if there could be someone who cares for you
You gotta hold back to tears
You don't have to say "never"
Love will come to those you are prepared

(Give it back)

Time will never be on your side
Listen, it could be your only chance to survive
This love is waiting to call you home
Darling you'll never be on your own

You gotta hold back to tears
I've shown you the best of love
Maybe if there could be someone who cares for you
You gotta hold back to tears
You don't have to say "never"
Love will come to those you are prepared

(Give it back)

If this is all you're ever gonna be
Well is it all worthwhile
There's so much that I want you to see
Could be all worthwhile

You gotta hold back to tears
I've shown you the best of love
Maybe if there could be someone who cares for you
You gotta hold back to tears
You don't have to say "never"
Love will come to those you are prepared
