We got to patch it up baby
Before we fall apart at the seams
We got to patch it up baby
We can't let time unravel our dreams
Let's go back and touch the past
One more night is all I ask
Get that feelin', that old feelin'
Can you feel it


* We can patch it up baby,
We can patch it up baby,
We can patch it up baby,
Patch it up, with a whole lotta love


We've got to patch it up baby
And sweep out all the cobwebs in our hearts
We got to patch it up baby
Before indifference pulls us apart
Don't let a good love die
Just give me just one more try
We can feel it, that old feelin'
Feel it healin'


* Repeat


* Repeat


* Repeat


* Repeat


* Repeat
