Denmark: T Jepsen & M Teschl - This time I mean it
Eurovision Song Contest · Eurovision Song Contest 1999 [1999]
I don't know what it's all about, but I'm startin' to figure out
Simple songs on the radio kinda colour the way I go
Every song holds an inner key to my dreams and my fantasy
Defences down and suddenly all your love comes back to me
And this time I mean it, oh baby, this time I mean it and now
You got me goin' so crazy even though I don't know how
Tried it before but we never happened, we just gotta try it again
Well, this time I mean it, oh baby, I'm in love with you again
Oh... I know what was said and done, it's been hard just to carry on
The sweetest love left a bitter taste, who's to say it was all a waste?
Mmm... 'cause in each quarrel, in every fight, there's a lesson 'bout wrong and right
Oh... looking back, I'm sure to say that we learned from yesterday
So this time I mean it, oh baby, this time I mean it and now
You got me goin' so crazy even though I don't know how
We tried it before but we never happened, we just gotta try it again
Well, this time I mean it, oh baby, I'm in love with you again
This time I mean it, oh baby, I'm in love with you again
Simple songs on the radio kinda colour the way I go
Every song holds an inner key to my dreams and my fantasy
Defences down and suddenly all your love comes back to me
And this time I mean it, oh baby, this time I mean it and now
You got me goin' so crazy even though I don't know how
Tried it before but we never happened, we just gotta try it again
Well, this time I mean it, oh baby, I'm in love with you again
Oh... I know what was said and done, it's been hard just to carry on
The sweetest love left a bitter taste, who's to say it was all a waste?
Mmm... 'cause in each quarrel, in every fight, there's a lesson 'bout wrong and right
Oh... looking back, I'm sure to say that we learned from yesterday
So this time I mean it, oh baby, this time I mean it and now
You got me goin' so crazy even though I don't know how
We tried it before but we never happened, we just gotta try it again
Well, this time I mean it, oh baby, I'm in love with you again
This time I mean it, oh baby, I'm in love with you again
