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
