Listen to me

I got smethin' to say

I need you to hear me, right away

Ooo wee baby

Can I please explain

I can't live without you one more day



Honestly I'm admitting

I'm just a little bit timid

So hold me and don't go away

Not without me

'cause when you're gone I'm much too lonely

Really

I wanna be



Where you are

I want to be everywhere you are

Where you are, you are

Where you are



If you only knew how much I miss you

If you only knew how much I care

You would be surprised to realize

Oh how much you'd become aware



In a room full of people, girl

I'm still lonely, baby, 'cause you're not there

So to prevent any more sorrow

Should you leave this place tomorrow

Well pack my bags too, baby

And take me with you
