Lyrics

[Verse 1]
An empty heart is like an empty life
I said an empty heart is like an empty life
Well, it makes you feel like you wanna cry
Like you wanna cry
Like you wanna cry
[Verse 2]
Well you've been my lover for a long, long time
Well you've been my lover for a long, long time
Well you left me all alone and end my time
I want my lover again
I want my lover again
I want my lover again
I want it back again
[Verse 3]
Yeah, a little stick
Yeah, a little bit, darling
Take it down
Take it down
Yeah, take it down
[Verse 4]
Come on back to me, baby
Come on back to me, baby
Come on, come on back to me
And I'll show ya
I'll show ya
[Verse 5]
That an empty heart means an empty life
Yeah, an empty heart is like an empty life
Oh, it makes you feel like you wanna die
Like you wanna die
Like you wanna die (I wanna die)
Like you wanna die
Like you wanna die
Like you wanna
