[Intro]
Darlin', darlin', darlin', darlin'
[Verse 1]
Darlin' you brought me weak to my knees
When I met you I knew I wanted to please
The old things I've done
The old ways I had
I knew all along were real, real bad
Being a bad boy was so much fun
Having a lot of women, always being on the run
[Refrain]
I know if I want this thing, this thing to last
I gotta shape a new life, different from an old past
[Verse 2]
I want to think about my past, learn from all my mistakes
To gain your love, I'd do all that it takes
You're my future, I wanna fulfill your dreams
Leave in the past, my conniving and schemes
You and I, are like a hand in a glove
I'll do everything to keep your love
[Refrain]
'Cause I know if I want this thing to last
I must shape a new life, different from an old past
Darlin', darlin', darlin', darlin'
[Verse 3]
Fixin' and shapin' to be a better man
Is easy to do when your heart is in your best friend's hand
When life brings to you the love of your life
Makin' her happy will cause you to do what's right
I'll bring you flowers, candy, and open car doors too
Not because I have to, but because I really love you
I want to be all that you really want me to be
I want to be your everyday fantasy
But see you smile because of somethin' that I've done
Makes me forget about stupid and dumb
It ain't nothin' bad, a bit of lovin' and get a lil' love back
I'm gonna do everything I can to keep that a fact
[Refrain]
I know if I want this thing, this thing to last
I gotta shape a new life, different from an old past
[Outro]
Darlin', darlin', darlin', darlin'
