Is anyone to blame but me I've been so concerned with myself Now I need you desperately If you've fallen for another Let's be honest with each other Is there still a chance And maybe hope to save our romance
We can't be strangers You mean too much to me I won't let this be a love in vain Don't want the loneliness Of just a memory I don't want a love in vain
Just one more night, I want to spend with you We'll let our hearts do the talking Like we used to do We'll make our first kiss last forever Put the pieces back together 'Cause there's still a chance There may be hope to save our romance
We can't be strangers You mean to much to me I won't let this be a love in vain, don't want a love in vain I don't want the loneliness Of just a memory Don't want a love in vain
Oh, woman look what you've done to me I'll show you how this love should be Don't let it be a love in vain Please don't, don't you know You got my heart on a string Don't let go Don't let this love be a love in vain
We can't be strangers It's not our destiny I won't let this be a love in vain, don't want a love in vain Don't want the loneliness Of just a memory Don't let this be a love in vain
