intro
I couldn't even get an answer
I tried to call (tried to call)
But my pride wouldn't let me dial
And I'm sitting here (sitting here)
With this blank expression
I wanna curl up like a child
verse
If I told you once, I told you twice
You can see it in my eyes
I'm all cried out, with nothing to say
You're everything I wanted to be
If you could only see, your heart belongs to me
I love you so much, I'm yearning for your touch
Come and set me free, forever yours I'll be
Baby, won't you come and take this pain away?
chorus
Last night (oh, last night)
I couldn't even get an answer (oh, baby, what you wanna do to me?)
But my pride wouldn't let me dial (why wouldn't you just tell me, baby? Oh)
With this blank expression (don't say it, baby, no, no, no)
I wanna curl up like a child (I'm so alone, I'm so lonely)
bridge
Tell me what words to say
To make you come back, and break me like that
And if it matters, I'd rather stay home
Don't wanna wait 'til you're gone
chorus
I couldn't even get an answer (couldn't get an answer, baby)
I tried to call (call me baby)
But my pride wouldn't let me dial (oh, couldn't you just tell me baby)
With this blank expression (don't say that, no)
I wanna curl up like a child (I'm so alone, I'm so lonely)
bridge
I need you, and you need me
And I will never let you go
And I will always love you so, I will
If you could only see, your heart belongs to me
I love you so much, I'm yearning for your touch
Come and set me free, forever yours I'll be
Baby, won't you come and take my pain away?
chorus
I couldn't even get an answer (I couldn't get you, baby, oh)
I tried to call (call me, baby)
But my pride wouldn't let me dial (oh, couldn't you just tell me, baby?)
With this blank expression (don't say that, no)
And the way I feel (alright, yeah)
I wanna curl up like a child (I'm so alone, I'm so lonely)
