You know what I like
I give this part of me for you
It's on my time
I give you all my pain
I give you everything
I give this part of me for you
It's on my time
Know what to say, it's hard to say
Know what to say, it's hard to say
Once again
Once again
Once again
Once again
Take this with stride
You know what I like
I give this part of me for you
It's on my time
I give you all my pain
I give you ill
Give you what you say
I give this part of me for you
It's on my time
