This Time

Oh I'm sorry, girl
For causing you much pain
Didn't mean to make you cry
Make your efforts all in vain
And I apologize
For all the things I've done
You were loving me so much
But all I did was let you down

Oh, I really don't
Know just what to say
All I know is that
I want you to stay... Yeah...

[Chorus:]
This time I'm not gonna let you slip away
This time I'm not gonna let another day go by
Without holding you so tight
Without treating you so right
This time I'm not gonna let go of your love
This time I promise you that we'll rise above it all
And I will never let you fall
I'm gonna give you my all
This time

Oh, I never thought
That I was hurting you
Now I know that I was wrong
Now I know just what to do

Gonna try to be
The best that I could be
All I need is one more chance
To make it up to you, you'll see

And there's one more thing
That you oughta know
All I know is that
I don't want you to go...

[Chorus x2]

Gonna give you my all...
This time
