Do you remember the first time And all of your sweet, sweet talk Ain't heard a lot since then, love Now look at that guy He's making me cry He leaves every mornig And he hardly says goodbye But if I would have to choose I wouldn't let you go Just give it some more time And you will see your love will grow Darling I know We gotta have patience, love isn't just a sensation Some of the time it gets rough Love isn't easy, but it sure is hard enough (Sweet, sweet, our love is bittersweet) Giving, love is the reason for living But a few things can be tough Love isn't easy, but it sure is hard enough (Sweet, sweet, our love is bittersweet) From the first moment I saw you I've treated you like a queen I've given you lots of presents Now listen to that Just look at a cat You'd think he was an angel But he's talking through his hat But if I would have to choose I wouldn't let you go Just give it some more time And you will see your love will grow Darling I know We gotta have patience, love isn't just a sensation Some of the time it gets rough Love isn't easy, but it sure is hard enough (Sweet, sweet, our love is bittersweet) Giving, love is the reason for living But a few things can be tough Love isn't easy, but it sure is hard enough (Sweet, sweet, our love is bittersweet) Patience, love isn't just a sensation Some of the time it gets rough Love isn't easy, but it sure is hard enough (Sweet, sweet, our love is bittersweet) Giving, love is the reason for living But a few things can be tough Love isn't easy, but it sure is hard enough
