[Verse 1]
Lovers come and go
That's all I've had the chance to know
I want this to be more than just a sweet caress
More than just a gentle kiss
More than just a temporary thing
I want this to be more than just a feeling
More than all our hearts can bring
More than just a temporary thing

[Verse 2]
Look at all these wasted years
That left me with nothing, nothing more than tears
I want this to be more
Than just a passing phase
My mind can easily erase
More than just a temporary thing
I want this to be more than sensuality
With no responsibility
More than just a temporary thing, ooh, ooh

[Bridge]
I want this to be more than just a temporary thing
(I want you to let me love, baby)
I want this to be more than just a perfect love affair
I want this to be more than just a secondary thing
I want this to be all that I have wished for in a prayer
[Outro]
I want this to be more than just a sweet caress
More than just a gentle kiss
More than just a temporary thing
I want this to be more than sensuality
With no responsibility
More than just a temporary thing, yeah
More than just a temporary thing
