I Care About You [Live/Unplugged]
Babyface · MTV Unplugged NYC 1997 [1997]
Sometimes I feel so alone, baby
I call your heart
But there's no one at home
Takin' it's toll on my pride, my pride
I'm reachin' out but there's no one inside
You know It doesn't feel right
when I look in your eyes
I know love is blind
But the heart doesn't lie
I'll ask one more time
Maybe this time you'll try
So tell me girl
What's deep in your heart, yeah
Girl, I care about you
I'm there for you
So why don't you care for me
Like I care about you
REPEAT
I spend like all of my days, baby
Trying to cess out just how things got this way
I thought that we were in love
But I swear right now I don't know what you want
I make sure that I give you quality time
But lately I feel you're not home by desire
But still I'm gonna try to give you the love of my life
In hopes that you, that you will open up your heart
CHROUS 2x
Sometimes (Sometimes I'm not)
I'm not sure that (I'm all you've got)
that I'm all you've got (sometimes)
Sometimes I'm not sure you love me or not, baby
Just one thing that I'm certain of
Girl I care for you
And the one thing that I want is that you care for me too
CHORUS 2X
I care for you (Fade)
I call your heart
But there's no one at home
Takin' it's toll on my pride, my pride
I'm reachin' out but there's no one inside
You know It doesn't feel right
when I look in your eyes
I know love is blind
But the heart doesn't lie
I'll ask one more time
Maybe this time you'll try
So tell me girl
What's deep in your heart, yeah
Girl, I care about you
I'm there for you
So why don't you care for me
Like I care about you
REPEAT
I spend like all of my days, baby
Trying to cess out just how things got this way
I thought that we were in love
But I swear right now I don't know what you want
I make sure that I give you quality time
But lately I feel you're not home by desire
But still I'm gonna try to give you the love of my life
In hopes that you, that you will open up your heart
CHROUS 2x
Sometimes (Sometimes I'm not)
I'm not sure that (I'm all you've got)
that I'm all you've got (sometimes)
Sometimes I'm not sure you love me or not, baby
Just one thing that I'm certain of
Girl I care for you
And the one thing that I want is that you care for me too
CHORUS 2X
I care for you (Fade)
