Luther Vandross - I'd Rather

I thought sometime 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 (ooh~ ooh...)
and I tried to find
out if this one thing is true
that I'm nothing without you
I know better now
and I've had a change of heart

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
whoo-oo-oo-oo yeah

And then I met someone
and thought she could replace you
we got a long 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 build 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

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't blame you if you turn away from me, like I've done you,
I can only prove the things I say with time,
please be mine,

oh oh please be mine,
I know I'd rather that...
anytime,
surely surely baby~
times together than to have it easy apart
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart

surely
someone
surely
ooh yeah...
all by myself
I'd rather have hard times together, than to have it easy apart
you know it~ I'd rather have the one who holds my heart
oh... ooh~
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart
I'd rather have the one who holds... my heart... ~
ooh... ooh... who holds my heart...
