Lyrics

[Chorus]
Starting all over again is gonna be rough, so rough
But we gonna make it, oh, yeah
Starting all over as friends is gonna be tough on us
But we gotta face it
[Verse 1]
We lost what we had
That's what hurt us so bad (Oh, yeah)
It set us back a thousand years
But we gonna make it up (Oh, yes, we are)
Though I know it's gonna be rough
To erase all the hurt and tears
[Chorus]
Starting all over again is gonna be hard
But I pray that the Lord will help us make it, yeah
Starting all over again is gonna be slow
We, we both know that we can make it
[Bridge]
We gotta take life as it come, yeah
And never, never, never fuss about who's right or wrong
We still gotta take it
It's an uphill climb (Oh, yes, it is)
To the finish line
But we gonna try just one more time
[Chorus]
Starting all over again is gonna be rough for us
But we gonna make it (Yeah)
Starting all over as friends is gonna be rough on us (On us)
But we gotta face it, yeah
[Chorus]
Starting all over again is gonna be hard (I know you're gonna have some hard times)
But we could have better luck (Yeah, yeah)
But we gonna make it (Oh, yes, we will, darling)
Starting all over again is gonna be slow
(Baby, but I know, I know, I know, I know, I know) But we both know
That we can make it (Oh, yes, we can)
[Chorus]
Starting all over again is gonna be rough
We're gonna have some mighty hard times
On us (On us) (On us, yeah)
But we gotta make it (Ah, yes, we have, listen to me)
Starting all over as friends is gonna be tough (Yeah)
