You know it feels nice,
To have you on my side
Oh
When everything is dark and lonely,
It's hard for me to tell you, baby,
That I want you here beside me, dear.
Don't wander so far from here.
You take the hardest part of leaving.
You make it so hard to believe in.
Ooh
Oh, you know it takes a lifetime.
Oh, the wage of falling in love.
You know it takes your whole heart
Oh, ooh
I thought that I was wise
And I tell myself I'm right
Oh
No matter how it hurts to breathe in,
I'll take the pieces from the earth.
Oh, can't you see what you're worth?
So long as you can trust me, I'll do
Anything it takes to see you.
Ooh
Oh, you know it takes a lifetime.
Oh, the wage of falling in love.
You know it takes your whole heart
Oh, ooh
I'll never fake a smile just to please you
Oh
Wishing for the wishing well
Oh
Ooh
Oh, you know it takes a lifetime.
Oh, the wage of falling in love.
You know it takes your whole heart
Oh ooh
