Everybody needs a little time away I heard her say, from each other Even lovers need a holiday Far away from each other Hold me now It's hard for me to say I'm sorry I just want you to stay After all that we've been through I will make it up to you, I promise to And after all that's been said and done You're just a part of me I can't let go (Ooh) Couldn't stand to be kept away Just for the day, from your body Wouldn't want to be swept away Far away from the one that I love Hold me now It's hard for me to say I'm sorry I just want you to know Hold me now I really want to tell you I'm sorry I could never let you go After all that we've been through I will make it up to you, I promise to And after all that's been said and done You're just the part of me I can't let go After all that we've been through I will make it up to you, I promise to You're gonna be the lucky one
