Lyrics

Baby says no

She can't let go this soon

Doesn't feel right

Not tonight

Even though I gave her the stars and the moon

I really think I've got it bad this time around

Baby says yes

But I must confess

It really doesn't seem to matter

'Cause I'd follow that girl all around the world

Even if I never had her

I really think I've got it bad this time

I really think I've got it bad this time

I really think I've got it bad this time around

Gonna show 'em what love can do

Gonna tell 'em 'bout me and you

Gonna show 'em what love can do when it's right

And this time it's right

Love is the light that can shine so bright

But sometimes it fades away

Then you find one that can shine like the sun

And she comes up for you every day

I really think I've got it bad this time

I really think I've got it bad this time

I really think I've got it bad this time around

Gonna show 'em what love can do

Gonna tell 'em 'bout me and you

Gonna show 'em what love can do when it's right

And this time it's right

Oh when the girl is so far away

I can't think of all the right words to say

But now she's here and we are all together

Baby says no

She can't let go this soon

She says it doesn't feel right

Not tonight

Even though I gave her the stars and the moon

I really think I've got it bad this time

I really think I've got it bad this time

I really think I've got it bad this time around

I really think I've got it bad this time around

Gonna show 'em what love can do

Gonna tell 'em 'bout me and you

Gonna show 'em what love can do when it's right

And this time it's right

Gonna show 'em what love can do

Gonna tell 'em 'bout me and you

Gonna show 'em what love can do when it's right

And this time it's right

Oh, this time

I've got it bad this time

I've got it bad this time

I've got it bad this time (this time, this time)

I've got it bad this time

I've got it bad this time (this time, this time)

I've got it bad this time

I've got it bad this time

I've got it bad this time

I've got it bad this time
