I Won't Desert You
Ricky Martin · Life [2005]
Sorry babe, won't forget all about you
Can't deny, all the ways I've hurt you
All I know, life is harder without you, gone away
Baby I won't desert you
I was so lost, I was so gone and you so lonely
I didn't realize the things I've done to you
There's no excuse there's not a way that I convince you
It's hard to find someone that loves the way you do
You are the breath that fills my soul, ohhh....
You know that now the road is my home
And it's calling me on and on
[Repeat Chorus]
You want it all but all we have it's just this moment
I can't promise you anymore then that
So babe look at me and we can make it through this
I never meant for this to make you feel so bad
You are the breath that fills my soul, ohhh....
You know that now the road is my home
And it's calling me on and on
[Repeat Chorus]
Sometimes it feels like, every road leads me back to you
Sometimes it feels like, the thought of you take me.... home...
Takes me home, and it takes me home...
Takes me....
Sorry babe, won't forget all about you
Can't deny, all the way I've hurt you
(So sorry babe)
All I know, life is harder without you
Gone away
(So much harder without you)
Baby I won't desert you
Sorry babe, won't forget all about you
(Every road leads me back to you)
Can't deny, all the way that I've hurt you
(The thought of you takes me)
All I know, life is harder without you
Gone away
(the thought of you takes me home)
Baby I won't desert you
Every road leads me...every road leads me darling...
Leads me back to you....back to you....
