[Verse 1]
Darling, can't you see
What losing you has done to me
I'm not the same girl I used to be
Have a change of heart
Don't leave me standing in the dark
Don't let confusion keep us apart

[Pre-Chorus]
Come back to me and I promise I'll be
Everything that's bright and new your whole life through

[Chorus]
This time I'll be sweeter (This time I'll be sweeter)
Our love will run deeper (Our love will run deeper, too)
And I won't mess around
Won't let you down
(Have faith in me) Have faith in me, in me

[Verse 2]
Since you've been away
I haven't seen the light of day
I'm lost without you, can't find my way
Won't you please be fair
And let me show how much I care?
Come back to me and answer my prayer
[Pre-Chorus]
Come back to me and I'll guarantee
All the tenderness and love you'll ever need

[Chorus]
This time I'll be sweeter (This time I'll be sweeter)
Our love will run deeper (Our love will run deeper, too)
Honey, I won't mess around
Won't let you down
Have faith in me

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
Come back to me and I'll guarantee
All the tenderness and love you'll ever need

[Chorus]
This time I'll be sweeter (This time)
Sweeter to you, baby (I'll be sweeter)
And our love will run (Our love will run deeper, too)
And I won't mess around
Won't let you down
(Have faith in me) Have faith in me, in me, in me
Have faith in me
In me
