Once I had a girlfriend She made my heart just want to die She just couldn't stay inside She'll make you open up your eyes Until you've cried yourself a river Throw your hands up in the sky To be by her side I'll do anything if just to make her stay To make her stay, to make her stay Stay, count the time until you're mine Will they ever know? We can't deny The world outside just leaves us cold Count the time until you're mine They'll never know Oh, we'll compromise The world outside just leaves us cold Once she gave a reason But the end just made me cry A red sunrise outside She made me open up my eyes Until I finally looked around me When I heard her soft reply I can't pretend to try I'll do anything if just to make her stay To make her stay, to make her stay Stay, count the time until you're mine Will they ever know? We can't deny The world outside just leaves us cold Count the time until you're mine They'll never know Oh, we'll compromise The world outside just leaves us cold Stay, to make her stay Make her stay Stay, count the time until you're mine Will they ever know? We can't deny The world outside just leaves us cold Count the time until you're mine They'll never know Oh, we'll compromise The world outside just leaves us cold
