Like the beat beat beat of the tom-tom
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick tick tock of the stately clock
As it stands against the wall
Like the drip drip drip of the raindrops
When the summer shower is through
So a voice within me keeps repeating you, you, you
Night and day, you are the one
Only you beneath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me, or far
It's no matter darling where you are
I think of you
Day and night, night and day, why is it so
That this longing for you follows wherever I go
In the roaring traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you
Day and night, night and day
Under the hide of me
There's an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
And this torment won't be through
Until you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night, night and day(Ooh ho)
I never read the signs,
The writing on the wall,
Cos life had begun
Can you be the one?
‘S not Deja ‘vu but I’m sure,
I’ve been here before
Love was all you had to lose,
But now I know it was too much for you.
Tell me why, I’m feeling the way I feel,
Deep inside, I know it’s not meant to be.
This time, I won’t take the easy way out,
I’m letting go,
Cos I don’t want you in mind
If you ain’t in it for love!
You never crossed the line,
I told my self I guess,
Cos I needed you to feel like I do
And, boy, I confess
I won’t settle for less
Love was all you had to lose,
But now I know it was too much for you.
Tell me why, I’m feeling the way I feel,
Deep inside, I know it’s not meant to be.
This time, I won’t take the easy way out,
I’m letting go,
Cos I don’t want you in mind
If you ain’t in it for love!
I know you’ve told me a thousand times
That there’s no love like yours and mine
But I can see through you
You don’t mean it do you?
So tell me why, I’m feeling the way I feel,
Deep inside, I know it’s not meant to be.
This time, I wonâÃ
