You're telling me I got a lot to gain

And this feeling that I feel

It's only temporary pain

But when a heart is breaking

Don't they all just break the same

I'm no exception to the simple rules

That have already been laid



Girl I got nothing if I ain't got you

So if you have all the answers

Could you tell me what to do

I don't want to be here if it ain't with you

So could you tell the truth

You know that this isn't just temporary



I wish that I could read your mind

So I could see the thoughts aligned

The thoughts you use to justify

A single style of life

We never fight, I never made you cry

So this is all a big surprise



Girl I got nothing if I ain't got you

So if you have all the answers

Could you tell me what to do

I don't want to be here if it ain't with you

So could you tell the truth

You know that this isn't just temporary

No, no, no



Baby girl I,

I wanna live in the life

That includes you

I'm trying to give you the world

That doesn't suit you

Baby nothings gonna stop me now, oh no

I wanna work on the love

That isn't there yet

Okay it's not what you want

But nothings perfect

Baby can't you see you're all that I need



Girl I got nothing if I ain't got you

So if you have all the answers

Could you tell me what to do

I don't want to be here if it ain't with you

So could you tell the truth

You know that this isn't just temporary



Girl I got nothing if I ain't got you

So if you have all the answers

Could you tell me what to do love

I don't want to be here if it ain't with you

So could you tell the truth

You know that this isn't just temporary



Your love, this love

Maybe that's what's temporary

Oh no, oh no
