These words I've said
Many times before
But God should strike me dead
If I've ever meant them more
'T's not my 'magination
Not infatuation
'Cause this time it's love
This time it's love

You're not the first
Yes, I've had a checkered past
But I know you're the first love
That's ever gonna last
Right here by my side
Girl, you'll be my pride
'Cause this time it's love
Yeah, this time it's love
This time it's love
This time it's love
This time it's love
This time it's love
This time it's love

This time it's love
This time it's love
This time it's love
This time it's love

Sometimes my heart feels
Like beating through my chest
Sometimes we'll be apart
But I'll always do my best
T'keep you by my side
Girl, you'll be my pride
'Cause this time it's love
This time it's love

We'll never say goodbye
We're never gonna die
'Cause this time it's love

This time it's love
Oh, this time it's love
Oh, no, this time it's love
This time it's love
This time it's love
This time it's love
(Oh, baby, baby, baby)
This time it's love
Oh, no, this time it's love
Yeah, this time it's love
This time it's love
