Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I said, I said
I said, I said, I said
I said, I said, I said
I said, I said, I said
[Verse 2]
I said, "Baby come over"
You said, "I am not ready"
I said, "You'll turn into a loner"
You said, "That's okay with me"
[Verse 3]
I said, I said, I said
I said, I said, I said
[Verse 4]
You don't need to try to pretend
For someone else
I just need to help you
Instead of helpin' myself
Why you gotta go act so tough, baby
When I call?
And why you gotta leave me when you need me
Most of all?
[Verse 5]
I said, "Baby I want ya"
You said, "I know that you do"
I said, "Will you come on over?"
Is there no convincin' you?
[Verse 6]
I said, I said, I said
I said, I said, I said
[Verse 7]
You don't need to try to pretend
For someone else
I just need to help you
Instead of helpin' myself
Why you gotta go act so tough, baby
When I call?
And why you gotta leave me when you need me
Most of all?
[Verse 8]
Don't you leave me, don't you leave me
And why you gotta leave me when you need me
When you need me most of all?
[Verse 9]
Why you gotta go act so tough, baby
When I call?
And why you gotta leave me when you need me
Most of all?
[Verse 10]
You don't need to try to pretend (You don't need to try to pretend)
For someone else (For someone else)
I just need to help you (I just need to help you)
Instead of helpin' myself (Instead of helpin' myself)
Why you gotta go act so tough, baby
And why you gotta leave me when you need me?
