Lyrics

LOVE SAYS IT'S TIME TO GO

By: Tom Formanek ASCAP (P) 2002

V1) WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN LOVE SAYS IT'S TIME TO GO?
IT'S KIND OF FUNNY HOW YOUR HEART ALWAYS SEEMS TO KNOW
YOU DON'T LOOK AT ME THAT WAY NO MORE
SO WHAT'S THE USE OF HANGIN' 'ROUND YOUR DOOR?

(CHORUS) WELL, I NEED YOUR LOVE, I NEED YOUR LOVE
WHY DID YOU TAKE YOUR LOVE AWAY FROM ME?
I NEED YOUR LOVE, I NEED YOUR LOVE
WHY DID YOU TAKE YOUR LOVE AWAY FROM ME?

V2) WHEN YOU SAID TO ME WHY CAN'T WE JUST BE LIKE FRIENDS
YOU COULD NOT HEAR MY HEART HIT THE FLOOR
IT TOOK ABOUT ALL OF MY STRENGTH AT THAT MOMENT
TO NOT JUST GO WALK RIGHT ON OUR OF THE DOOR

CHORUS

>>> FROM ME, YOUR LOVE FROM ME...

(INSTRUMENT SOLO)

V3) IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO BE FRIENDS, WHEN YOUR LOVE LIFE JUST ENDS
AND YOUR HEART JUST GETS LEFT AT THE DOOR
WHY DID OUR LOVE HAVE TO FAIL, OUR EMOTIONS GO STALE
WHEN I REALLY WAS LOOKING FOR MORE

(CHORUS) WELL, I NEED YOUR LOVE, I NEED YOUR LOVE
WHY DID YOU TAKE YOUR LOVE AWAY FROM ME?
I NEED YOUR LOVE, I NEED YOUR LOVE
WHY DID YOU TAKE YOUR LOVE AWAY FROM ME?

V4) WHERE DO YOU GO WHEN LOVE SAYS IT'S TIME TO GO?
THERE IS A PLACE FOR YOUR HEART WHEN IT'S FEELING LOW
YOU'VE GOTTA LET YOURSELF BREAK AWAY
GO FIND A PLACE WHERE YOUR HEART CAN STAY

CHORUS

>>> TALK TO ME
>>> DON'T SET ME FREE
>>> IT'LL BE THE END OF ME
