Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Nearly knocked two teeth out

Got five stitches in the chin

I was dyin' inside, babe

I don't mind the pain

[Verse 2]

When I needed someone

Tell me, who came along?

I was hopin' you'd come

Because I really wanted you, yes, I really wanted you

[Verse 3]

I was sleepless till dawn

With a heart breakin' down

I've been lonely too long

Because I really wanted you, yes, I really wanted you

For so long

Mmm, for so long

[Verse 4]

Ooh, mama, don't

Ooh, mama, don't, don't you go now

[Verse 5]

Nearly knocked two teeth out

Got five stitches in the chin

I was dyin' inside, babe

I don't mind the pain

[Verse 6]

Ooh, yeah, yeah

Well, the moon starts to yawn

With every mornin' sun

Now the darkness is gone

Because I really wanted you, yes, I really wanted you

For so long

Mmm, for so long
