ISAAC HAYES lyrics - This Time I'll Be Sweeter

(G. Guthrie/P. Grant)



Darlin', can't you see

What losin' you has done to me?

I'm not the same girl I used to be



Have a change of heart,

Don't leave me standin' in the dark

Don't let confusion keep us apart



Come back to me,

And I'll guarantee

All the tenderness and love you'll ever need



This time I'll be sweeter,

Our love will run deeper;

I won't mess around,

I won't let you down,

Have faith in me (umm hmm)

Have faith in me



Since you've been away,

I haven't seen the light of day;

I'm lost without you,

Can't find my way



So won't you please be fair,

And let me show how much I care,

Say you'll be mine

And answer my pray'r



Come back to me,

And I promise I'll be

Ev'rything that's bright and new,

Your whole life through



This time I'll be sweeter,

Our love will run deeper;

I won't mess around,

I won't let you down,

Have faith in me (umm hmm)

Have faith in me
