VERSE 1
I’ve got to let you be by yourself
So you have the time alone
To find out who you really are
And what you’re capable of
CHORUS
Cause, baby, I want the best that we can give
You know, I want the best that we can give
Honey, I want the best that we can give
To each other
No, I don’t want no other
VERSE2
Love can turn into a strangle hold
Keeping you down when you want to look around
So go and look and see what you can find
Honey, you’ll always be a friend of mine
REPEAT CHORUS
MUSICAL BRIDGE
VERSE 3
Now, I’m not talking about good or bad
And it don’t discount the fun that we’ve had
But if you feel that you’ve got to leave
You don’t have to get down on your knees
