This Time
U.F.O. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh baby the future looks bleak
I can't believe what's been going on
You're never there you're always gone
A little faith going a long way
Always thought that you would stay
Digging for gold
Moving on, I'm out in the cold
[Bridge:]
No no baby, I believed in you
No no baby, it's not true
No no baby, I believed in you
Don't put my heart on the line
[Chorus:]
This time, let it be me
I'll be the one that you can see
This time I'll be your man
I'm right here baby, here in your hand
Situation is the classic kind
Caught in this trap, oh love is blind
Friends keep saying that you're bad news
I keep saying how could you choose
One more time
Just to believe you are mine
At the point of no return
A fool in love, when will i learn
[Bridge]
[Chorus x2]
There's no sign that this love of ours
Will go on and on
I took a long look at love
From the point of view there's an angel above
[Chorus]
There's no sign that this love of ours will go on and on
[Chorus]
