I Love You Lyrics


The beauty's gone
My time wasn't enough (I'm spendin it all with you)
My heart wasn't enough (I'm givin' it to you)
My money wasn't enough (I'm givin' you all that)
My house wasn't enough (but you live in that)
And now you wanna leave
Wish I never told you "you should leave"
Wish me and you never had my seed
No I better stop it that's a lie
'Cause girl you were the apple of my eye
Took a little time for me to see
That girl I need you right here next to me
I could let you walk away
But I'm not goin out that way, no
Not that way
Not goin out that way
I can't live without you
Can't be without you

I'm beggin' you to stay, to stay
I love you
Even though I said that you should leave me
I wanted other chances to adore you
I still believe in you and me, I love you
Won't you take the time (Love you)
Take the time to see (Leave me)
I don't wanna have to live my life in misery
I wasn't ready for you to set me free (Adore you), (I'm in love)
Don't give our love away
Words can't describe how I feel about you
Only Heaven knows how much I do
Girl I'll put my own life on the line
I'd cherish and protect you with my life
All that s*** I said girl I didn't mean
I'd die without your love baby if you leave
I could let you walk away
But baby I'm not goin out that way
Not that way
Not goin out that way
I can't live without you
Can't be without you
I'm beggin' you to stay, to stay
I love you
Even though I said that you should leave me
I wanted other chances to adore you
I still believe in you and me, I love you
Won't you take the time (Love you)
Take the time to see (Leave me)
I don't wanna have to live my life in misery
I wasn't ready for you to set me free (Adore you), (I'm in love)
Don't give our love away
Might as well just kill me
All My Life (all my, my life, I'd sacrifice for you)
Sacrifice (baby, I'd sacrifice for you, baby I'd sacrifice)
After that rising sun
Is another day begun
I won't live without you
Won't be without you
I'm beggin you to stay (Can't you just understand I just don't wanna be with you?)
Please stay
I love you
Even though I said you should leave me
I wanted other chances to adore you
(Gonna take my time, take my time, to give you the love that you want)
Won't you take the time (Love you)
Take the time to see (Leave me)
I don't wanna have to live my life in misery
I wasn't ready for you to set me free (Adore you)
'Cause I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you, baby
And I still believe in you and me
(I love you)
Oh, I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I do
Waitin for you
For you, baby
I love you
We need each other
I taught you how to love
You taught me how to love
And from that we created love (I love you)
You stayed with me when I was doin' wrong
So why'd you leave me when I started doin right
The beauty's gone
I love you
I love you
