[Verse 1]
Well I once had me a love
I still think that I might
I was young and unwise
I tried to give her what she wants
Lord knows that I tried
But I only hurt her deep inside

[Chorus]
How many times are we gon' see this show?
It's getting repetitious, ooh, I know
Mama please just keep an open door
'Cause it's easier to love than to let you go

[Verse 2]
If I could see you with a man
Who's fit just for your kind
You'd be free and I'd be fine
And I don't know what's left for me
Alone stuck in my mind (Yeah, yeah)
But I'll find my love one of these nights (Okay, okay)

[Chorus]
'Cause how many times are we gon' see this show?
It's gеtting repetitious, ooh, I know
Mama pleasе just keep an open door
'Cause it's easier to love than to let you go
[Verse 3]
But she ain't do nothing wrong
And I told her that she's mine (All mine)
And that the wounds gon' heal in time (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
And now she lives right down the street
Hope she still thinking about me
But I can't go back this time

[Chorus]
'Cause how many times are we gon' see this show? (Yeah)
I know exactly how it goes
But mama please won't you keep an open door
'Cause it's easier to love than let me go

[Outro]
Oh-oh (Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm)
Time has never failed me (Mm-mm)
Time has never failed me (Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm)
Time has never failed me (Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm)
(Mm-mm-mm-mm)
(Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm)
(Mm-mm-mm-mm)
