Lyrics
What's right goes wrong, what's wrong goes right It's so hard for me to sleep at night No one, nowhere, for me to care Because you said for me you'd always be there But it's alright, you found a new love You let me down, my feelings are hurt, oh yeah... 'Cause there are so many tears I've cried I want you back into my life I need to find the love we shared A feeling two people really cared... When you're here with me it's out of sight When you're next to me every-things alright I'd climb a mountain oh so high I'd sing the sweetest lullaby This ain't the time, the situation's on my mind Do you want me baby? Please don't keep me hangin' on the line... 'Cause there are so many tears I've cried I want you back into my life I need to find the love we shared A feeling two people really cared... I cried, you cried, we cried I want you back into my life...
