This years love had better last
Heaven knows it's high time
And I've been waiting on my own too long
But when you hold me like you do

It feels so right
I start to forget
How my heart gets torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Feeling like you can't go on

Turning circles when time again
It cuts like a knife oh yeah
If you love me got to know for sure
'Cause it takes something more this time

Than sweet sweet lies
Before I open up my arms and fall
Losing all control
Every dream inside my soul

And when you kiss me
On that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet
Singing ain't this life so sweet

This years love had better last
This years love had better last

'Cause whose to worry
If our hearts get torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Don't you know this life goes on

And won't you kiss me
On that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet
Singing ain't this life so sweet

This years love had better last

This years love had better last

This years love had better last
