I see you here with me I've waited all my life for someone like you Someone to give my heart and soul to I look into your eyes Your love for me was such a welcome surprise I think at last I've found forever But what about me? (I'll always love you) What about me? (I'll always need you) You were my love before But I need so much more of you Time after time I feel I'm losing my mind Or maybe this is what lovers must go through It never entered my mind We could be wasting our time What am I gonna do? But what about me? No reason to pretend True love affairs don't have to come to an end The moment we don't have all the answers I nearly go insane Each and every time I hear you whisper my name I feel the same when I'm around you But what about me? (I'll always love you) What about me? (I'll always need you) This is so hard for me I wanted so much to be with you Time after time I feel I'm losing my mind Or maybe this is what lovers must go through It never entered my mind We could be wasting our time What am I gonna do? But what about me?
