[Verse 1]
This year's love had better last
Heaven knows it's high time
I've been waiting on my own
Too long
When you hold me like you do
It feels so right, oh, now
Start to forget how my heart gets torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Feeling like I can't go on

[Chorus]
This year's love had better last
This year's love had better last

[Verse 2]
Turning circles time again
Cuts like a knife, oh, now
If you love me, you've got to know
For sure
'Cause it takes something more this time
Than sweet, sweet lies, oh, now
Before I open up my arms and fall
Losing all control
Evеry dream inside my soul
[Pre-Chorus]
When you kiss mе on that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet
Singin', "Ain't this life so sweet?"

[Chorus]
This year's love had better last
This year's love had better last

[Verse 3]
'Cause who's to worry if our hearts get torn
When that hurt gets thrown?
Don't you know this life goes on?

[Pre-Chorus]
Won't you kiss me on that midnight street?
Sweep me off my feet
Singin', "Ain't this life so sweet?"
