let me be the one

can i call you baby?
can i call you honey, dear?
can i be your darlin?
or is it something that you fear?

let me be the one
to hold you till the dawn
of all of my days
let me be the one

and if i call you baby
if i call you honey, dear
will you be my darlin?
please dont make me shed a tear

let me be the one
to hold you till the dawn
of all of your days
let me be the one

but i cant call you baby
i cant call you honey, dear
i cant be your darlin
because its something that you fear

but let me the one
to hold you till the dawn
of all of our days
and let me be the first
to say that this is more
than time can erase
let me be the one

forever

you used to say youd marry me
but now your heart has changed
since she came back into your life
our loves been rearranged

you used to say i was the one
now only time can tell
when she comes round you start to run
lost my penny in the well

but id give you forever if you let me
just say you love me, too
please dont tell me your hearts leaft me
cuz my heart so red will turn to blue

you used to say that i was pretty
now all i can see
is your eyes staring at her dress
and not lookin at me

you used to laugh at all my jokes
now i cant get a smile
so id just like to sit you down to listen for a while

cuz id give you forever if you let me
just say you love me, too
please dont tell me your hearts left me
cuz my heart so red will turn to blue

you used to hold me close at nite
youre probably holding her
i wish i could put up a fight
to stop all this torture

so listen here a minute, boy
my love has yet to quit
you only have a few more days
to get ahold of it

cuz id give you forever....

give it back

when i was a little girl
my mama said i could conquer the world
but then you came
and swallowed my dreams
im not the same
person it seems

so come on and give it back
please come on and give it back
i cant survive
cant let it go away
but i dont want it back
and i cant take it back
because its you with which my heart will stay

and i dont know what im doing
i dont know just what to say
theres something leading to my ruin
it might just be this game we play

since i was a little girl
i spent my time in this dark lonely world
when i found you, i thought i could see
turns out im blind internally

so come on and give it back
please come on and give it back
i cant survive
cant let it go away
but i dont want it back
and i cant take it back
because its you with which my heart will stay

and i dont know what im doing
i dont know just what to say
theres something leading to my ruin
it might just be this game we play
