On The Line
N'Sync · Other Songs - N'Sync
On the line to show you
I'll never let you go
On the line for your love
There's nothing
I want more
Another dead end street
Another love gone wrong
Another shattered dream
Always the same old song
I started thinking that
You'd never come along
I got all this love inside
That I'm sure you want tonight
I'm wishing you
What I've been through
To get to you
I'm laying it
On the line to show you
I'll never let you go
On the line for your love
There's nothing
I want more
When you smile
I feel my heart open
And I know there's nothing
That I wouldn't do
I'm layin' it
On the line this time
Just to be with you
After everything
My heart's been through
I treasure, every moment
I spend with you
For me to feel this way
Is something new
Now it's got a hold of me
It's making me believe
That what
We got is something
Unlike any other
I'm laying it
On the line to show you
I'll never let you go
On the line for your love
There's nothing
I want more
When you smile
I feel my heart open
And I know there's nothing
That I wouldn't do
(I wouldn't do)
I'm layin' it
On the line this time
Just to be with you
Oh, oh
Yeah, yeah
If you're thinking,
What you're thinking
Girl, all you gotta do
Is say the word
If you tell me
What you need
I can get you
What you're asking for
When I didn't have a prayer
I thought nobody cared
I turned around and
You were there
How I've been
(Oh)
Waiting for you
(Waiting for you baby)
And I want you to know
(And I want you to know)
On the line to show you
That I'll never let you go
On the line for your love
There's nothing
I want more
When you smile
I feel my heart open
And I know there's nothing
That I wouldn't do
(Nothing that I wouldn't do)
I'm laying it
On the line to show you
(Never gonna let you go
Never gonna let you go)
On the line for your love
There's nothing
I want more
When you smile
I feel my heart open
And I know there's nothing
That I would not do
I'm layin' it
On the line this time
Just to be with you
