Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This time I will love you
This time I won't hurt you
This time I'll be true to you
Come on, and tell me you love me some more
One thing I know, I miss you for sure
Come on home, darling, and don't say you can't
This time I won't hurt you
This time I will love you
This time I won't hurt you
This time I'll be true to you
Don't let me cry out and beg you again
I'll never hurt you again
If you'd return, darling, there's one little thing I swear
I'd really love you, darling, oh so sincere, now
This time I won't hurt you
This time I will love you
This time I won't hurt you
This tïme I'll be true to you
