Lyrics Roberta Flack

Roberta Flack

This Time I'll Be Sweeter

Darlin', can't you see

What losin' you has done to me?

I'm not the same girl I used to be

Have a change of heart,

Don't leave me standin' in the dark

Don't let confusion keep us apart

Come back to me,

And I'll guarantee

All the tenderness and love you'll ever need

This time I'll be sweeter,

Our love will run deeper;

I won't mess around,

I won't let you down,

Have faith in me (umm hmm)

Have faith in me

Since you've been away,

I haven't seen the light of day;

I'm lost without you,

Can't find my way

So won't you please be fair,

And let me show how much I care,

Say you'll be mine

And answer my pray'r

Come back to me,

And I promise I'll be

Ev'rything that's bright and new,

Your whole life through

This time I'll be sweeter,

Our love will run deeper;

I won't mess around,

I won't let you down,

Have faith in me (umm hmm)

Have faith in me
