Nights all alone
Visions of you
Dancing with someone dressed in blue
Soft voice on the phone
Asking for you
How can I ignore such an obvious clue
Always workin' late
You don't even call
You never have time for no one
Maybe it's clear there's some girl dressed in blue
I just don't wanna believe it's true
Please tell me that I'm dreamin'
That you have not been sleepin' with her
The hours you been keepin'
They tell me you been sleepin'
With someone else
A kiss on the cheek
No kiss on the mouth
I love you's are down to nothin'
Ain't made love in weeks
You ain't been around
You got no desire for lovin'
We never go out
You ain't got the time
You used to make time for us dear
Baby it's clear that I'm losing you
I just don't wanna believe it's true
Hook
So many pieces of my heart are in your hands
I hope you understand my life's been all about you
So if it's over please be kind and tell me true
I've just got one request I need for you to do
Hook
