Lyrics
Ain't no use (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Every night I'm cryin' (how are you doin', baby?), cryin'
I just thought I'd call you (never in this place)
I heard about you and your new man
But I want you to know no matter what (baby, oh)
There's always a place for you in my heart (there is a place)
Hey you, how are you doin'?
I sure hope that you're fine
Heard you got a man in life
But I ain't found no woman in mine (oh, no)
Guess I better get straight to the point (straight to the point)
I wanna know if I have a chance
And if I'm the man to take my place
Tell me, baby, have we got our last dance?
Try to be included, girl, like what I've been
Forget all the bad things I've done and said
I don't care what women say (nah), I'll die just anyway
Girl, without you, I might lose my head
Ain't no use in lyin' (oh, no), every night I'm cryin' (baby)
There's an empty space, but I'm savin' your pain
There ain't no use in lyin', every night I'm cryin' (well, yeah)
There's an empty space, girl, I'm savin' your pain
Do you remember the times we made love? (huh, make love)
I'll shine on the terrace (yeah, everybody's listening)
Girls, you look so embarrassing (ha-hah), the candlelight dinners I pitch to
Girl, you look so sexy, thank God 'cause they blessed me (oh!)
For bringin' me a beautiful woman like you
When there were great schedules made of blue (blue-blue, blue-blue)
And if the other men think you're hot and hot, then I'll let them be
'Cause you'll never find a special kind of other men like me
Ain't no use in lyin' (oh, baby), every night I'm cryin' (baby, I know, not you baby)
There's an empty space (oh), but I'm savin' your pain (oh)
There ain't no use in lyin', every night I'm cryin' (hit and come back)
There's an empty space, girl, I'm savin' your pain (please, come back not 'til I hear back, baby)
Oh, girls, I know you remember when we made love (have it, baby; you love me)
And when we used to talk (took and beat in life; and wiped and added against the talk)
(And we used to scream) remember the walks we took
(Yeah, yeah, yea-yeah) and I used to scream when we made love
And don't you remember
Just don't you remember that ever, baby
No use in lyin' (no use in lyin'), every night I'm cryin' (I can't wait)
There's an empty space, but I'm savin' your pain (baby, I'll bury and bury, I bury)
Baby, there ain't no use in lyin', every night I'm cryin' (so my bae, still and brave, I'll take 'em back)
There's an empty space, girl, I'm savin' your pain (arms on my baby, yeah, come on and back)
(So, hold on) baby, hold on (throw the glove), hold on to me
(Baby, don't go away) I am the one, the one that you need
(Shout and do everything that you wanna to do) doin' no bad, no one takes a place (and, no)
Just want to know, girl, that I'm savin' your place (you need to come back home)
I'm gon' rise, and it ain't make no use (no use in lyin')
You can sleep on your side of the bed (every night I'm cryin')
I won't bother you, baby, you can go (there's an empty space)
You can go and come when you want to (but I'm savin' your pain)
I'm sorry, babe, oh, baby (no use in lyin')
I said I'd never (every night I'm cryin')
I said I'd never (there's an empty space)
I said I'll never say a word (but I'm savin' -)
