My reflection of all the things you would say And the hopeless vision of how you move me that way Oh But everybody sees someone mislead How these contradictions got me out of my head For understanding, let me lay it on the line For all decisions, we ain't got but a little time Oh all you needed, but you can't say that I didn't try You're everlasting and I would do it over again, again Do it over again ... oooo oooo oooo All or nothin' baby, is a feeling I know Oh this contemplation's turning up on it's own Ohhh your body's churnin', when livin' is rough But are you yearnin' or are you givin' it up For understanding, let me lay it on the line For all decisions, we ain't got but a little time Oh all you needed, you can't say that I didn't try You're everlasting and I would do it over again, again Do it over again oooo oooo oooo Devine emotion Sanctified and true Ohhh what's worth saving if your not feelin' it too No compromisin' could be ready for change If your feigning with devotion You know it's never too late For understanding, let me lay it on the line For all decisions we ain't got but a little time Oh all you needed, you can't say that I didn't try You're everlastiing and I would do it over again, again Do it over again oooo oooo oooo For understanding, let me lay it on the line For all decisions, we ain't got but a little time Oh all you needed, you can't say that I didn't try You're everlasting and I would do it over again, again Do it over again oooo oooo oooo
