For Crying Out Loud

Lloyd Cole · Love Story [1995]

I took 15 years, to break your spell

I loved you then, I love you still

I wake up cold, I wake up wet

My body weak, my mind is spent



I fill my days, I pay my rent and

I have no need, of electric light

Because I dream the same dream every night

I call my man



I know it's late

"Could you fix me something to put me straight?"

'Cause I need your love

I need it now



God speed your love

For crying out loud

You took all I have, there is no more

Mother nature lied, there is no cure



So I take my pill, I close my eyes

And I wait for sleep, I wait all night long

But I see your face, I hear your voice

So I call your number, I have no choice



'Cause I need your love

I need it now

God speed your love

For crying out loud



I took 15 years, to break your spell

I loved you then, I guess I failed

I wake up cold, I wake up wet

My body weak, my mind is spent



I fill my days, I pay my rent

And I have no need, and I have no-one

'Cause I need your love

I need it now



God speed your love

For crying out loud
