I promised I'd never deny myself the chance
To feel the warmth of love and it's sweet romance
And I promised I would never find myself this way
Hurt by love, by love

So tell me what this is all about
Your sudden change and sudden doubt
Baby, I gave you everything I had
Everything you asked of me and more and more

And there are sometimes, maybe often times
I sit here all alone wishing you were home with me
And there's sometimes, often in my mind
That I wish you'd stay away
'Cause I can't take the pain you bring me sometimes

You told me that you'd never loved this way before
And that nobody ever gave you what you were looking for
And you told me that no one would ever take my place
Beside you, here beside you

So tell me what this love's all about
'Cause your changing ways I could do without
Baby, I gave you everything I had
Everything you asked of me and more and more

And there are sometimes, maybe often times
When I sit here all alone wishing you were home with me
There's sometimes, often in my mind
I wish you'd stay away
'Cause I can't take the pain you bring me sometimes

I should have known that this just wouldn't be forever
I feel sometimes I just don't give a damn about it
And I feel that I just can't go on

And there are sometimes, maybe often times
When I sit here all alone wishing you were home with me
And there's sometimes, often in my mind
That I wish you'd stay away
I can't take the pain you bring me sometimes

Maybe often times
I sit here all alone wishing you were home with me
And there's sometimes, often in my mind
I wish you'd stay away 'cause I can't take the pain sometimes
