[Verse 1: Kenny Rogers & Kim Carnes]
I see you here with me
I've waited all my life
For someone like you
Someone to give my heart and soul to
I look into your eyes
Your love for me was such a welcome surprise
I think at last I've found forever

[Pre-Chorus: James Ingram & Kim Carnes]
But what about me? (I'll always love you)
Oh, what about me? (I'll always need you)
You were my love before
But I need so much more of you

[Chorus: All, Kim Carnes]
Time after time, I feel I'm losing my mind
Or maybe this is what lovers must go through
It never entered my mind
We could be wasting our time
What am I gonna do?

[Post-Chorus: Kenny Rogers & James Ingram]
What about me?
Oh, what about me?
[Verse 2: James Ingram with Kim Carnes & Kenny Rogers, Kim Carnes]
No reason to pretend
True love affairs don't have to come to an end
The moment we don't have all the answers
I nearly go insane (Oh, I go insane)
Each and every time I hear you whisper my name
I feel the same when I'm around you

[Pre-Chorus: Kenny Rogers & Kim Carnes]
But what about me? (I'll always love you)
Oh, what about me? (I'll always need you)
This is so hard for me
I wanted so much to be with you, whoa

[Chorus: All, Kim Carnes]
Time after time, I feel I'm losing my mind
Or maybe this is what lovers must go through
It never entered my mind
We could be wasting our time
What am I gonna do?

Time after time, I'm losing my mind
It never entered my mind
We could be wasting our time

[Outro: Kim Carnes]
But what about me?
