Songtekst

[verse 1]
Wakin' up to find another day
The moon got lost again last night
But now the sun has finally had it's say
I guess I feel alright

[verse 2]
But it hurts when I think, when I let it sink in
It's all over me
I'm lying here, in the dark
I'm watchin' you sleep, it hurts a lot

[pre-chorus]
And all I know is
You've got to give me everything
And nothing less 'cause
You know I'd give you all of me

[chorus]
I'd give you everything that I am
I'm handin over everything that I've got
'Cause I wanna have a bit of true love
Don't ever wanna have to go and give you up
Stay up 'til four in the morning and the tears are pouring
And I wanna make it worth the fight
But what have we been doing for all this time
Baby if we're gonna do it come and do it right

[verse 3]
All I wanted was to know I'm safe
Don't wanna lose the love I found
Remember when you said that you would change
Don't let me down
It's not fair, how you are
I can't be complete, can you give me more?

[pre-chorus]
And all I know is
You've got to give me everything
And nothing less 'cause
You know I'd give you all of me

[chorus]
I'd give you everything that I am
I'm handin over everything that I've got
'Cause I wanna have a bit of true love
Don't ever wanna have to go and give you up
Stay up 'til four in the morning and the tears are pouring
And I wanna make it worth the fight
But what have we been doing for all this time
Baby if we're gonna do it come and do it right

[bridge]
Oh please, you know what I need (You know what I need)
Save all your lovin for me
We can't escape the love
Give me everything that you have

[pre-chorus]
And all I know is
You've got to give me everything
And nothing less 'cause
You know I'd give you all of me

[chorus]
I'd give you everything that I am
I'm handin over everything that I've got
'Cause I wanna have a bit of true love
Don't ever wanna have to go and give you up
Stay up 'til four in the morning and the tears are pouring
And I wanna make it worth the fight
But what have we been doing for all this time
Baby if we're gonna do it come and do it right
