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
