Don’t you believe I’ve tried long enough
Don’t you just believe it’s time
Don’t you believe I’ve gone far enough
Don’t you just believe it’s time

Lord knows I’ve tried
Just to keep you off my mind
But it’s no use
Nothing works
You just stay with me all the time

So don’t you believe I’ve tried long enough
Don’t you just believe it’s time
Don’t you believe I’ve gone far enough
Don’t you just believe it’s time

All I do is follow you
Reaching for you with my mind
Your sweet love is all I need
And I think you’ve known it all the time

Don’t you believe I’ve tried long enough
Don’t you just believe it’s time
Don’t you believe I’ve gone far enough
Don’t you just believe it’s time

So don’t you believe I’ve tried long enough
Don’t you just believe it’s time
Don’t you believe I’ve gone far enough
Don’t you just believe it’s time
