All I want's a friend and you want mine And you've been around for a long long time I loved him but not like now Something has changed and I don't know how I'm at the point of no return I'm at the point of no return I've never been in love like this You turn me around with just one kiss I've never seen you in this way before Now you got me wantin' more and more I'm at the point of no return I'm at the point of no return It's taken me a while to learn I'm at the point of no return No turnin' back It's much too late To go back now would be a big mistake It's taken me a while to learn I'm at the point of no return I'm at the point of no return I'm at the point of no return
