lyrics

Officially single, realistically in love

Hard to explain, I've come through so much pain
But now it's gonna last, we didn't go too fast

You are all to me, give me time and you will see
With the ticking of the clock, together we will rock

Understand your lover’s needs
It worked for me
If you love them set them free
