Michael mcdonald/patrick henderson

Darlin', i know
I'm just another head on your pillow
If only just tonight, girl
Let me hear you lie just a little
Tell me i'm the only man
That you ever really loved
Honey take me back
Deep in my memory
A time when it was all very right
So very nice

Here, darlin', stands another bandit wantin' you
In and out your life, they come and they go
Your days and nights like a wheel that turns
Grindin' down a secret part of you
Deep inside your heart
That nobody knows

When you say comfort me
To anyone who approaches
Chalkin' up the hurt
We live and we learn
Well we've both lived long enough to know
We'd trade it all right now
For just one minute of real love
