I'D RATHER
Luther Vandross

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 loved at home to be alone(alone)

and I tried to find out if this one thing is true

that I'm nothing without youI 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

we 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 they were all 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 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,

I'd rather have bad times with(please be mine) you,

than good times with someone else(I know)

I'd rather be beside you in a storm(anytime),

than safe and warm by myself(so sure baby)

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

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

I'd rather have bad times with you(surely),

than good times with someone else(surely)

I'd rather be beside you in a storm(oh yeah),

than safe and warm by myself(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

I'd rather have the one who holds my heart

I'd rather have the one who holds my heart

whoooo.....who holds my heart
