Are We Different?
Carroll Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With the things I said
And if you are willing
Will you please forget
'Cos we've been together
For so very long
And what I'm telling you is
I was in the wrong
So I need you now
More than I've known before
Won't you stay awhile
And talk a little more
Say you'll never leave me baby (lo siento, mi amor)
Say I'll always be your lady (perdona por todo)
I won't ever try to hurt you (me siento sola)
We are one, our love is strong
Say you'll never leave me baby (lo siento, mi amor)
Say I'll always be your lady (perdona por todo)
I won't ever try to hurt you (me siento sola)
We are one, our love is strong
Are you through with trying
Why don't you believe
When I say I'm sorry
Can't you just forgive
So you've seen now baby
The decision's yours
If your love has gone
Then show me to the door
'Cos I need you now
More than you've known before
Won't you stay awhile
Let's talk a little more
Say you'll never leave me baby (lo siento, mi amor)
Say I'll always be your lady (perdona por todo)
I won't ever try to hurt you (me siento sola)
We are one, our love is strong
Say you'll never leave me baby (lo siento, mi amor)
Say I'll always be your lady (perdona por todo)
I won't ever try to hurt you (me siento sola)
We are one, our love is strong
So I need you now
More than I've known before
Won't you stay awhile
And talk a little more
Say you'll never leave me baby (lo siento, mi amor)
Say I'll always be your lady (perdona por todo)
I won't ever try to hurt you (me siento sola)
We are one, our love is strong
Say you'll never leave me baby (lo siento, mi amor)
Say I'll always be your lady (perdona por todo)
I won't ever try to hurt you (me siento sola)
We are one, our love is strong
