cause I must know the reason why we say goodbye

cause I can show you lovin that you won't deny

wait and show your lovin like it was before
cause I won't let that feelin walk ou through the door
yeah wait just a moment and try once more
cause babe I need to hold you like I did before" (Mike Tramp and Vito Bratta)
