Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I came along when he broke your heart

That's when you needed someone to help forget about him

I gave you love with a brand new start

That's what you needed the most to set your broken heart free

[Chorus]

I know you cried and you felt blue

But when I could, I gave strength to you

I'm waiting for the day when you can love again

[Verse 2]

I kissed your lips when your face looked sad

It made me think about him and that you still loved him so

Baby, don't you know that pretty soon, and I'll make you feel glad

That you belong to me? The love began to show

[Chorus]

He hurt you then, but that's all done

I guess I'm saying you're the only one

I'm waiting for the day when you can love again

[Chorus]

He hurt you then, but that's all done

I guess I'm saying you're the only one

I'm waiting for the day when you can love again

[Outro]

You didn't think that I could sit around and let him work (No)

You didn't think that I could sit around and watch him take you (No)

You didn't think that I could sit around and watch him go

You didn't think that I could sit back and let you go

You didn't think that I could sit around and let you go
