[Verse 1: CG5]
Time goes by
I don't know why I would ever let you hurt me
Look me in the eye, tell a little lie
Let me know you won't desert me
One last night in the moonlight
Wouldn't do another if I could
Hold me tight, make it feel right
Leave and never say

[Pre-Chorus: CG5]
Goodbye, bye, bye
I'll never let you have me
Past tonight, night, night
Some kind of temporary love

[Chorus: CG5]
Before the time runs out, I'm gonna let you down
Might be a man on Mars before I need you again
If you had let me know that you have loved me so
This wouldn't seem so hard
Can we let it end?

[Verse 2: CG5]
Time goes by
I don't know why you would ever let me hurt you
Look you in the eye, tell a little lie
That you know I don't deserve you
Feed the fire, take me higher
One last dance till we die
One desire, I'll deny it
Leave before I change my
[Pre-Chorus: CG5]
Mind, mind, mind
I'll never let you have me
Past tonight, night, night
Some kind of temporary love

[Chorus: CG5]
Before the time runs out, I'm gonna let you down
Might be a man on Mars before I need you again
If you had let me know that you have loved me so
This wouldn't seem so hard
Can we let it end?

[Break: CG5]
Time goes by
I don't know why I would ever let you hurt me (Oh)

[Chorus: CG5]
Before the time runs out, I'm gonna let you down
Might be a man on Mars before I need you again
If you had let me know that you have loved me so
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah)
This wouldn't seem so hard
Can we let it end?

[Outro: CG5]
Time goes by
I don't know why I would ever let you hurt me
Look me in the eye, tell a little lie
Let me know you won't desert me
One last night in the moonlight
Wouldn't do another if I could
Hold me tight, make it feel right
Leave and never say goodbye
