Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You know, baby
We go back a long way
It hasn't always been easy, you know
I mean, you living on the East Coast
Me living on the West Coast
It's tearing me apart
We've got to stop meeting like this
[Verse 2]
Try to understand
When I say how much I care
It hurts me so inside, each time we say goodbye
And it's so unfair
[Verse 3]
And I've cried, yes, I've cried
As I face my calendar
I mark red Xs off, and with each tear that drops
Baby, it gets harder to bear
[Verse 4]
'Cause your love could send a rocket up to the moon
Your love hit me just like a lead balloon
So let's make a wish
Seal it with a kiss, my baby
You know we've got to stop meeting like this
[Verse 5]
Try to understand
Our long distance love affair has gotten out of hand
It's more than I can stand
Ooh, girl, this I swear
[Verse 6]
And it hurts, yes, it hurts, baby
As I face my calendar
I mark red Xs off, and with each tear that drops
Baby, it gets harder to bear
[Verse 7]
Your love could send a rocket up to the moon
Your love hit me just like a lead balloon
So let's make a wish
Seal it with a kiss, my baby, yeah
You know we've got to stop meeting like this
[Verse 8]
Can you find a way to say goodbye without really saying goodbye?
(Can you make it easier on me? Can you stop these tears I cry?)
Baby, I can only try
(Can you find a reason why love shouldn't die?)
[Verse 9]
I hear what you're saying
And my love will be waiting
I hear (I hear) what you're saying
And my love will be here after your other lovers fall
If you'll only stop, ooh, meeting like this, baby
[Verse 10]
You know we've got to stop, my love
This hurting in our hearts, my love
I've been blind, so blind, so blind, baby
Time after time
(You know we've got to stop it, baby, yeah)
Know we've got to stop, my baby
I've been going crazy, out of my mind
Time after time, yeah, baby
