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
