Why do lovers drift apart
How does love fade away
When do pieces of a broken heart mend again
You?ve been crying in the dark
And you?ve been feeling alone
Don?t be scared of what you?ll find
When you turn the light on

Ain?t nobody gonna say goodbye
Ain?t nobody gonna walk away
This time, baby, I?m learning how to love you, love you
Ain?t nobody gonna make you cry
Ain?t nobody ever really tried to love
Like I love you

What sad memory of yesterday
What terrible scar
Keeps you gathering pieces of
Your shattered heart
There was once upon a time
When hope was living within
I know there will come a time
When you can believe again
(chorus)

How long have you been feeling lost and lonely
How long have you been sad and blue

This time, baby, I?m learning how to love you, love you
Ain?t nobody gonna make you cry
Ain?t nobody ever really tried to love
Like I love you

This time, baby, I?m learning how to love you, love you
Let me love you, like I love you
