Lyrics
I don’t want to lose youBut I don’t want to use youJust to have somebody by my side.I don’t want to hate you,I don’t want to take youBut I don’t want to be the one to cry.And that don’t really matter to anyone anymore.But like a fool I keep losing my placeAnd I keep seeing you walk through that door.But there’s a danger in loving somebody too much,And it’s sad when you know it’s your heart you can’t trust.There’s a reason why people don’t stay where they are.Baby, sometimes, love just ain’t enough.Now, I could never change youI don’t want to blame you.Baby, you don’t have to take the fall.Yes, I may have hurt you,But I did not desert you.Maybe I just want to have it all.It makes a sound like thunderIt makes me feel like rain.And like a fool who will never see the truth,I keep thinking something’s gonna change.But there’s a danger in loving somebody too much,And it’s sad when you know it’s your heart you can’t trust.There’s a reason why people don’t stay where they are.Baby, sometimes, love just ain’t enough.And there’s no way homeWhen it’s late at night and you’re all alone.Are there things that you wanted to say?And do you feel me beside you in your bed,There beside you, where I used to lay?And there’s a danger in loving somebody too much,And it’s sad when you know it’s your heart they can’t trustThere’s a reason why people don’t stay who they are.Baby, sometimes, love just ain’t enough.Baby, sometimes, loveLove just ain’t enough.No, no, no, baby, ohOh, no
