This Time Around - Peabo Bryson

Sit right down and stay for awhile

It’s been so long since you were here

Stick around, 'cause I missed your smile

And I long to hold you near

Love of my lifetime

You’re my obsession

I wanna make you mine

But love is not a possession

Love is a blessing

You don’t miss out till it’s gone

I learned my lesson

Now I know right from wrong

This time, I know that love’s not a game

And this time, you won’t be hurt, not again

This time, I know that love has no shame

I’m gonna give you all of my love

Now here we are, back where we belong

We’ve got a chance to start again

We’ve come so far, I hope we’re not wrong

Because the feeling still remains

You’re the love of my lifetime

You’re my obsession

I try to make you mine

But love is not my possession

Love is a blessing

You don’t miss out till it’s gone

I learned my lesson

Now I know right from wrong

This time, I know that love’s not a game

This time, we won’t be hurt, oh, not again

This time, I know that love has no shame

And I’m gonna give you all of my love

All my love

Tell me, tell me if you’re still in love

Is there a chance for us

It’s been so long, baby

I’ve been waiting, hoping, praying

This time, love’s not a game

This time, you won’t be hurt, oh, no

This time, I know that love has no shame

And I’m gonna give you all of my love

(This time)

All my love

(This time)

Love, this time around…
