This Time Around

(album: Positive - 1988)

Sit right down and stay for awhile
It's been so long since you were here
Stick around, 'cause I missed your smile
And I long to hold you near

Love of my lifetime
You're my obsession
I wanna make you mine
But love is not a possession
Love is a blessing
You don't miss out till it's gone
I learned my lesson
Now I know right from wrong

This time, I know that love's not a game
And this time, you won't be hurt, not again
This time, I know that love has no shame
I'm gonna give you all of my love

Now here we are, back where we belong
We've got a chance to start again
We've come so far, I hope we're not wrong
Because the feeling still remains

You're the love of my lifetime
You're my obsession
I try to make you mine
But love is not my possession
Love is a blessing
You don't miss out till it's gone
I learned my lesson
Now I know right from wrong

This time, I know that love's not a game
This time, we won't be hurt, oh, not again
This time, I know that love has no shame
And I'm gonna give you all of my love
All my love

Tell me, tell me if you're still in love
Is there a chance for us
It's been so long, baby
I've been waiting, hoping, praying

This time, love's not a game
This time, you won't be hurt, oh, no
This time, I know that love has no shame
And I'm gonna give you all of my love

(This time)
All my love
(This time)
Love, this time around...
