Verse 2:

I brought to you my tired clothes and weary faith to you

And with a smile you took me in and showed me love again

Now it has to be to say good-bye or stay and I don't know

But remember please I gave you love that's only mine to give

(chorus)

Verse 3:

Yes, I truly love to be with you

If I wasn't with the one that I'm with.

Yes, I truly love to lie by you

If I didn't have to give what I give.

(chorus)
