We both said some things we don't really mean Sometimes love can be like that And right now they hurt, but they're only words There nothin' we can't take back But every time we don't see eye to eye You worry I might say goodbye [Chorus] Not on your love, not in this life Could I ever leave, I wouldn't think twice Of letting you go, by now you should know I need you too much Not on your love, no way in this world Could I ever live without you girl When times get tough, I'm not giving up Not on your love When we started out we made a vow Not to sleep 'till we settled the fight And there have been times we've seen the sun rise But, it always worked out alright Even in the darkest hour before dawn I never thought of moving on [Chorus]
