Lyrics I'd Rather (Radio Version) - Luther Vandross

I thought some time alone
was what we really needed.
You said this time would hurt more than it helped,
but I couldn't see that.
I thought it was the end
of a beautiful story,
and so I left the one I love at home
to be alone, ooh oh
And I tried and found out this one thing is true,
that I'm nothing without you
I know better now
and I've had a change of heart
I'd rather have bad times with you
than good times with someone else
I'd rather be beside you in a storm,
than safe and warm by myself
I'd rather have hard times together than
to have an easier part
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart
ooh ooh oooooh ooh yeah
And then I met someone
and thought she could replace you
We got along just fine, but wasted time
because she was not you
We had a lot of fun
though we knew we were faking Love was not impressed with our connection built on lies, on lies. So I'm here cuz I found this one thing is true, that I'm nothing without you. I know better now, and I've had a change of heart.
I'd rather have bad times with you than good times with someone else
I'd rather be beside you in a storm than safe and warm by myself. I'd rather have hard times together than to have an easier part. I'd rather have the one who holds my heart. Who holds my heart.
I can't blame you if you turn away from me like I've done you. I can only prove the things I say with time, please be mine. Oh oh, please be mine!
I know better now.
Anytime
I'd rather have hard times together than to have an easier part, I'd rather have the one who holds my heart. (repeat)
