I learned so much about love

Since I've been by your side

And you spend all your time

Knowing what you've done for me

The simple fact is

That I'm longing for you, girl

Desperate and needing you to stay in my life



'Cause I'm sorry but forgiving

But your love for me is for the wrong reasons

I wish I could satisfy you baby

But you're so sick of those natural things

Guess I'm a fool for loving you

But honestly the truth is



Chorus:

Time after time

I'll be yearning for you

Dime after dime

I thought I was earnin' 4 two

Maybe this time you'll be the one

Who feels the pain

Time after time again



I used to be such a baby

Crying in your arms

But now I'm older, wiser

Now I'm hip to the scene

Tell me, when you make love to that someone else

Do you think of how it felt

Different with me when you fell asleep?

When you woke up, I was there



I was honest

I was changed for good

But the bad of it all

Is it's worth nothing, nothing to you

I wonder if after it all

Is there someone still waiting for me

Is this all in the plan for the helping hand

I wish it could be you

But I know it can't





Chorus:

Time after time

I'll be yearning for you

Dime after dime

I thought I was earnin' 4 two

Maybe this time you'll be the one

Who feels the pain

Time after time again



You gave me your reasons why

You made perfect sense

But you'll miss your water

When the well runs dry

'Cause somewhere, I believe

I was the one

You'll have your fun

In the back of ypur mind

You'll find that you still love me

Time after time



Chorus:

Time after time

I'll be yearning for you

Dime after dime

I thought I was earnin' 4 two

Maybe this time you'll be the one

Who feels the pain

Time after time again
