You know it feels nice, To have you on my side Oh When everything is dark and lonely, It's hard for me to tell you, baby, That I want you here beside me, dear. Don't wander so far from here. You take the hardest part of leaving. You make it so hard to believe in. Ooh Oh, you know it takes a lifetime. Oh, the wage of falling in love. You know it takes your whole heart Oh, ooh I thought that I was wise And I tell myself I'm right Oh No matter how it hurts to breathe in, I'll take the pieces from the earth. Oh, can't you see what you're worth? So long as you can trust me, I'll do Anything it takes to see you. Ooh Oh, you know it takes a lifetime. Oh, the wage of falling in love. You know it takes your whole heart Oh, ooh I'll never fake a smile just to please you Oh Wishing for the wishing well Oh Ooh Oh, you know it takes a lifetime. Oh, the wage of falling in love. You know it takes your whole heart Oh ooh
