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

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

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

Ooh
Ooh
Oh you know it takes a lifetime
Oh the wage of falling in love
You know it takes your whole heart oh ooh
