Luther Vandross - I'D Rather lyrics

I'd Rather

(Verse 1)

I thought some time alone

was what we really needed

you said this time would hurt more than it helps

but I couldn't see that

I thought it was the end

of a beautiful story

and so I left the one I love at home to be alone (alone)

and I tried and found

out this one thing is true

that I'm nothing without you

I know better now

and I've had a change of heart

(Chorus)

I'd rather have bad times with you, than good times with someone else

I'd rather be beside you in a storm, than safe and warm by myself

I'd rather have hard times together, than to have it easy apart

I'd rather have the one who holds my heart

oo-oo-oo-oo yeah

(verse 2)

And then I met someone

and thought she could replace you

we got along just fine

but wasted time because she was not you

we had a lot of fun

though we knew we were faking

love was not impressed with our connection built on lies, all lies

so I'm here cause I found this one thing is true

that I'm nothing without you

I know better now

and I've had a change of heart

(Repeat Chorus)

I'd rather have bad times with you, than good times with someone else

I'd rather be beside you in a storm, than safe and warm by myself

I'd rather have hard times together, than to have it easy apart

I'd rather have the one who holds my heart (who holds my heart)

I can抰 blame you if you turn away from me like I抳e done you

I can only prove the things I say with time

Please be mine

(repeat chorus until fade)
