Let's Start It Over

(album: As The Band Turns - 1985)

Girl, I think that you and I should
Get together and start thing all over again
I won't be the other guys in your life
This time it will be for real, you'll see

Love can be something you savor
Slowly like wine
You can't explore all of that magic, girl
All at one time
Well, I'm just getting to know you
I'm beginning to show you
How it feels when someone's not playing games
And so forget the other guys who blew it
They found love and never knew it
Love will get better if we renew it

Let's start it over
Keep pressing me to your heart, baby
Ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah, baby
Let's start it over
I won't love and leave you, baby
I'd still be here when the night is through

You've found others who called themselves lovers
But they let you down
But don't you run and hide
It's not my intentions, girl, to get you down
I won't say the words like "trust me"
'Cause I know how had it must be
All I ask is that you don't hold back on me
I'm here to tell you that I love you
I can't get enough of you
Girl, I've got so much more love to give you

Let's start it over
Love me two time tonight baby, yeah
Yeah, girl, come on and let's start it over
While the moon's a nightlight, girl
Let's do it until we get it right

You thought you dreamed in vain for love
But, baby, here I am, and here's where I'll stay
I know, we'll take it all the way
And, baby, here is where I'll stay, yeah

So turn the lights a little dimmer
Girl, this time you've got a winner
We'll feel lots of sweet emotions before the dawn
You'll soon forget the other guys who hurt you
I'm not gonna desert you
Settle back and just let me love you, oh...

Yeah, baby
Come on
Let's start it over
Let's start it over

Let' dim the lights, just hold me tight
This time we're gonna do it and make it right
Let's start it over
Ooh-ooh, girl
It feels so good to be a man
I jus want you to understand, I love you
Let's start it over
Whoa-oh, I do, baby
We're one-on-one, love has just begun
So forget the past and let's make it last, honey
Let's start it over
Whoo-ooh, honey
Let's start it over and keep it tight
Girl, this time we're gonna make it right, hey
Yeah, girl

Let's start it over
Come on, come on, girl
Let's start it over
It's gonna be different this time
Let's start it over
Me and you, oh...
Let's start it over
Come on, baby, yeah, girl
Let's start it over
'Cause I just wanna make it happen
Let's start it over
You better believe it, oh...
