Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sometimes, I feel so alone, baby girl
I call your heart, but there's no one at home
Taking a toll on my pride
I'm reaching 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
[Verse 2]
Girl, I care about you
I'm there for you
So why don't you care for me?
Like I care about you
Girl, I care about you
I'm there for you
So why don't you care for me?
Like I care about you
[Verse 3]
I spend like all of my day, baby
Trying to suss 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, babe
I make sure that I give you quality time
But lately, I feel you're not home by design
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, baby
[Verse 4]
Girl, I care about you
I'm there for you
So why don't you care for me?
Like I care about you
Girl, I care about you
I'm there for you
So why don't you care for me?
Like I care about you
[Verse 5]
Sometimes, I'm not sure that
That I'm all you got
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
[Verse 6]
Girl, I care about you
I'm there for you
So why don't you care for me?
Like I care about you
Girl, I care about you
I'm there for you
So why don't you care for me?
Like I care about you
[Verse 7]
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, babe, yeah
Yeah, oh, yeah, oh, I care for you, babe
