I could take it in my stride
Start livin' for the moment
Maybe half the things we sought
Ooh, were never there...
Let us open up our eyes
And break it down to size
And be completely fair

If you leave me now
You'll take away the biggest part of me
Ooh no, baby please don't go
Ooh child, I just want you to stay

A love like ours is love that's hard to find
How could we let it slip away
We've come too far to leave it all behind
How could wе end it all this way?
Oh, when tomorrow comes (whеn tomorrow comes)
You know we'll both regret
The things we said today...

Tell me how a love so right
Turned out to be so wrong?
Oh, my darling
Tell me how a love so right
Turned out to be so wrong?
Oh my baby, my baby...
How could you go, when I need you close to me?
Is the perfect story ending at the start?
I thought you came forever
Did you come to break my heart?
And now I'm hangin' on
In hope someone can help me

Ooh... if you leave me now
You'll take away the biggest part of me
Ooh no, baby please don't go
Ooh child, I just want you to stay

A love like ours is love that's hard to find
How could we let it slip away
We've come too far, oh, to leave it all behind
Oh, darlin'
How could we end it all this way?
Oh, when tomorrow comes (when tomorrow comes)
You know we're gonna regret
Everything (everything) we said today...

Tell me how a love so right
Can turn out to be so wrong?
Oh, my darlin'
Tell me how a love so right
Can turn out to be so wrong?
Oh, tell me... tell me how a love so right
Can turn out to be so wrong?
All mixed-up like this (so wrong, so wrong)
Hey girl, don't you know what we're going through
Tell me how a love so right so right, so right
If you need me now, oh no
Can turn out to be so wrong?
Don't know what I'm gonna do
Darlin', I'm so in love with you (hey baby, baby)
Tell me how a love so right
If you need me now, hey, yeah
(Can turn out to be so wrong?) (be so wrong, be so wrong)
Girl, you wanna break my heart
Don't you know that if we part (be so wrong, baby)
Tell me how a love so right
Can turn out to be so wrong?
Just don't know what I'm gonna do...
So wrong, so wrong...
