Do you love me Can we still be a part of tomorrow Do you want me baby, baby Or is this just a thing of the past Need to feel your arms around me I can't stand it whenever you're gone Ever since the day you found me I've been hooked on your kiss, but I know now that this Can't go on Been watchin' all my dreams slip right away Seems so wrong How all the good times live inside of yesterday Do you love me Can we still be a part of tomorrow Do you want me baby, yeah Or is this just a thing of the past Said you wouldn't let love burn me Like a fool I believed it was true Can't you see just how you hurt me Got a sensitive heart and it's tearin' apart Over you I need to see that sunshine like before Don't be cruel Don't give up on the things we've both been livin' for Do you love me Can we still be a part of tomorrow Do you want me baby Or is this just a thing of the past Is it so hard to show what you feel Can't you understand that I still care You've got to tell me this love is real Or are tears the only thing we can share Do you love me (I need to know what's goin' on) Can we still be a part of tomorrow (Is this thing right or is it wrong) Do you want me, baby (Do you know what's goin' on) Or is this just a thing of the past (Is this thing right or is it wrong) Do you love me (I need to know what's goin' on) Are you tryin' to tell me it's over (Is this thing right or is it wrong) Do you need me, baby (Do you know what's goin' on) Don't you know that this lovin' can last (Is this thing right or is it wrong) Do you love me (I need to know what's goin' on) Can we still be a part of tomorrow (Is this thing right or is it wrong) Do you want me, baby (Do you know what's goin' on) Or is this just a thing of the past (Is this thing right or is it wrong) Do you love me (I need to know what's goin' on) Are you tryin' to tell me it's over
