Lyrics
You said we should talk
I said, that's the last thing we need
You said we should slow down
I said, I'm looking for speed
They don't' say that love hurts
And love bleeds for nothing
Darlin' I'm looking for
Something more than part-time
Life is too short
You said it's not you
But I'm the only one around here
You said you needed time
When time was all you had
They don't say that love is blind
And so unkind for nothing
Darlin' I'm looking for
Something more than part-time
Life is too short
They don't say you hurt those
That you love the most for nothing
Darlin' I'm looking for
Something more than part-time
Life is too short
