[Chorus]
Do you love me?
Can we still be a part of tomorrow?
Do you want me baby, baby
Or is this just a thing of the past?
[Verse 1]
Need to feel your arms around me
I can't stand it whenever you're gone
Ever since the day you found me
I've been hooked on your kiss
But I know now that this can't go on
[Pre-Chorus]
Been watchin' all my dreams slip right away
Seems so wrong
How all the good times live inside of yesterday
[Chorus]
Do you love me?
Can we still be a part of tomorrow?
Do you want me, baby, yeah
Or is this just a thing of the past?
[Verse 2]
Said you wouldn't let love burn me
Like a fool I believed it was true
Can't you see just how you hurt me?
Got a sensitive heart and it's tearin' apart
[Pre-Chorus]
Over you
I need to see that sunshine like before
Don't be cruel
Don't give up on the things we've both been livin' for
[Chorus]
Do you love me?
Can we still be a part of tomorrow?
Do you want me, baby, yeah
Or is this just a thing of the past?
[Bridge]
Is it so hard to show what you feel?
Can't you understand that I still care?
You've got to tell me this love is real
Or are tears the only thing we can share
[Outro]
Do you love me? (I need to know what's goin' on)
Can we still be a part of tomorrow?
(Is this thing right or is it wrong?)
Do you want me, baby, yeah (Do you know what's goin' on)
Or is this just a thing of the past
(Is this thing right or is it Wrong)
Do you love me? (I need to know what's goin' on)
Are you tryin' to tell me it's over?
(Is this thing right or is it wrong?)
Do you need me, baby, yeah (Do you know what's goin' on?)
Don't you know that this lovin' can last
(Is this thing right or is it wrong?)
Do you love me? (I need to know what's goin' on)
Can we still be a part of tomorrow?
(Is this thing right or is it wrong?)
Do you want me, baby, yeah (Do you know what's goin' on?)
Or is this just a thing of the past?
(Is this thing right or is it wrong?)
Do you love me? (I need to know what's goin' on)
Are you tryin' to tell me it's over?
