This Time

Oh I'm sorry, girl, for causing you much pain
 Didn't mean to make you cry, make your efforts all in vain
 And I apologize for all the things I've done
 You were loving me so much but all I did was let you down
 Oh, I really don't know just what to say
 All I know is that I want you to stay
 This time, I'm not gonna let you slip away
 This time, I'm not gonna let another day go by
 Without holding you so tight
 Without treating you so right
 This time, I'm not gonna let go of your love
 This time, I promise you that we'll rise above it all
 And I will never let you fall
 I'm gonna give you my all, this time
 Oh, I never thought that I was hurting you
 Now I know that I was wrong, now I know just what to do
 Gonna try to be the best that I could be
 All I need is one more chance to make it up to you, you'll see
 And there's one more thing that you oughta know
 All I know is that I don't want you to go
