"Open Door" lyrics

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

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

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
A lot stuck in my mind
But I'll find my love one of these nights

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

But she ain't do nothing wrong
And I told her that she's mine
And that the wounds gon' heal in time
And now she lives right down the street
Oh she still thinking about me
But I can't go back this time

Cause how many times are we gon' see this show
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

Ooh-ooh (mmmm-mmmm)
Time has never failed me (mmmm-mmmm)
Time has never failed me (mmmm-mmmm)
Time has never failed me (mmmm-mmmm)
(Mmmm-mmmm)
