If I can't have you
I know, I don't want no one else
If I can't have you
Before the dance is through
I know, I know what I must do
Before the dance is through

In a way it's like I never opened up my eyes
When I awoke I was alone taken by surprised
In my life it's like I've never loved anyone
Tell the children don't do what I have done

I will not delay
I am not the echo
I don't want to wait anymore
I will not delay
I am not the echo
I don't want to wait anymore

If I can't have you
I know I don't want no one else
If I can't have you
They don't have a clue
But you know, you know that it's all true
But they don't have a clue
If I can't have you
(I don't want no one else)
If I can't have you
(I don't want no one else)

I will not delay
I am not the echo
I don't want to wait anymore
I will not delay
I am not the echo
I don't want to wait anymore

Deep inside I was never really satisfied
Now and then I said I loved you but I must've lied
In my heart I know we've never really been apart
Nobody told me you'd forgiven me from the start
