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, 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
