Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Whoa-oh
[Verse 2]
It's not the way you lead me by the hand
Into the bedroom
It's not the way you throw your clothes
Upon the bathroom floor
[Verse 3]
Been thinkin' about ya
I just couldn't wait to see
Fling my arms around ya
As we fall in ecstasy
[Verse 4]
Ooh, sometimes
The truth is harder than the pain inside, yeah
Ooh, sometimes
It's the broken heart that decides
[Verse 5]
It's not the way that you caress me
Toy with my affection
It's not my sense of emptiness
You fill with your desire
[Verse 6]
Climb in bed beside me
We can lock the world outside
Touch me, satisfy me
Warm your body next to mine
[Verse 7]
Ooh, sometimes
The truth is harder than the pain inside, yeah
Ooh, sometimes
It's the broken heart that decides
[Verse 8]
Whoa-oh
[Verse 9]
Ooh, sometimes
The truth is harder than the pain inside, yeah
Ooh, sometimes
It's the broken heart that decides
[Verse 10]
Ooh, sometimes
The truth is harder than the pain inside
Ooh, sometimes
It's the broken heart that decides
[Verse 11]
Ooh, sometimes
The truth is harder than the pain inside, yeah
Ooh, sometimes
It's the broken heart that decides
[Verse 12]
Ooh, sometimes
The truth is harder than the pain inside
Ooh, sometimes
It's the broken heart that decides
