Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm going to take my time
I have all the time in the world
To make you mine
It is written in the stars above
The gods decree
You'll be right here by my side
Right next to me
You can run but you cannot hide
[Chorus]
Don't say you want me
Don't say you need me
Don't say you love me
It's understood
Don't say you're happy
Out there without me
I know you can't be
'Cause it's no good
[Verse 2]
I'll be fine
I'll be waiting patiently
Till you see the signs
And come running to my open arms
When will you realise?
Do we have to wait till our worlds collide?
Open up your eyes
You can't turn back the tide
[Chorus]
Don't say you want me
Don't say you need me
Don't say you love me
It's understood
Don't say you're happy
Out there without me
I know you can't be
'Cause it's no good
[Verse 3]
I'm going to take my time
I have all the time in the world
To make you mine
It is written in the stars above
[Chorus]
Don't say you want me
Don't say you need me
Don't say you love me
It's understood
Don't say you're happy
Out there without me
I know you can't be
'Cause it's no good
[Chorus]
Don't say you want me
Don't say you need me
Don't say you love me
It's understood
Don't say you're happy
Out there without me
I know you can't be
'Cause it's no good
