I’ve been told it’s just a matter of time
before you meet someone who opens your eyes
But time’s on my side so nevertheless
I know the pain of too much happiness

Chorus:
It’s all part of my way of giving
and I’m giving it all to you
More than love it’s a way of living
and what more would you have me do

Although I’m not a guy that means to hurt
and if at times it seems our love won’t work
I tell you honey, you must surely realize
See all confusion in my cloudy eyes

(Chorus)

Although I’m not a guy that means to hurt
and if at times it seems our love won’t work
I tell you honey you must surely realize
See all confusion in my cloudy eyes

(Chorus)
