Our time is done my love We've laid it all to waste One thousand moonlit kisses can't Sweeten this bitter taste My desire for you is endless And I'll love you 'til we fall I just don't want you no more And that's the sweetest embrace of all To think we can find happiness Hidden in a kiss Ah, to think we can find happiness That's the greatest mistake there is There is nothing left to cling to babe There is nothing left to soil I just don't want you no more And that's the sweetest embrace of all Ooh, where did it begin When all we did was lose There's nothin' left to win So lay your weapons down They serve no purpose in your hands And if you wanna hold me Then go ahead and hold me I won't upset your plans If it's revenge you want Then take it babe Or you can walk right out the door I just don't care anymore And that's the sweetest embrace of all Ooh, where did it begin When all we did was lose There's nothin' left to win It's over babe And it really is a shame We are losers you and me babe In a rigged and crooked game My desire for you is endless And I love you most of all I just don't want you no more And that's the sweetest embrace of all
