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
 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 won't ever let you fall
 Gonna give you my all this time
 Oh I never thought that I was hurtin' you
 Now I know that I was wrong
 Now I know just what to do
 Gonna try to be
 the best that I can 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 oughtta know
 All I know is that
 I don't want you to go
 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 won't ever let you fall
 I'm gonna give you my all this time
 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 won't ever let you fall
 I'm gonna give you my all this time
 This time
