You're telling me I got a lot to gain
And this feeling that I feel
It's only temporary pain
But when a heart is breaking
Don't they all just break the same
I'm no exception to the simple rules
That have already been laid

Girl I got nothing if I ain't got you
So if you have all the answers
Could you tell me what to do
I don't want to be here if it ain't with you
So could you tell the truth
You know that this isn't just temporary

I wish that I could read your mind
So I could see the thoughts aligned
The thoughts you use to justify
A single style of life
We never fight, I never made you cry
So this is all a big surprise

Girl I got nothing if I ain't got you
So if you have all the answers
Could you tell me what to do
I don't want to be here if it ain't with you
So could you tell the truth
You know that this isn't just temporary
No, no, no

Baby girl I,
I wanna live in the life
That includes you
I'm trying to give you the world
That doesn't suit you
Baby nothings gonna stop me now, oh no
I wanna work on the love
That isn't there yet
Okay it's not what you want
But nothings perfect
Baby can't you see you're all that I need

Girl I got nothing if I ain't got you
So if you have all the answers
Could you tell me what to do
I don't want to be here if it ain't with you
So could you tell the truth
You know that this isn't just temporary

Girl I got nothing if I ain't got you
So if you have all the answers
Could you tell me what to do love
I don't want to be here if it ain't with you
So could you tell the truth
You know that this isn't just temporary

Your love, this love
Maybe that's what's temporary
Oh no, oh no
