Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Last night, I couldn't even get an answer
I tried to call, but my pride wouldn't let me dial
And I'm sitting here with this blank expression
And the way I feel, I wanna curl up like a child
[Verse 2]
I know you can hear me
I know you can feel me
I can't live without you
God, please make me better
I wish I wasn't the way I am
[Verse 3]
If I told you once, I told you twice
You can see it in my eyes
I'm all cried out with nothing to say
You're everything I wanted to be
[Verse 4]
If you could only see your heart belongs to me
I love you so much, I'm yearning for your touch
Come and set me free, forever yours I'll be
Baby, won't you come and take this pain away?
[Verse 5]
Last night, I couldn't even get an answer (You said you couldn't get an answer, baby)
I tried to call, but my pride wouldn't let me dial (That should never stop you)
And I'm sitting here with this blank expression (I can't read your mind, baby)
And the way I feel, I wanna curl up like a child (Ooh, baby)
[Verse 6]
I need you, and you need me
This is so plain to see
And I will never let you go
And I will always love you so
I will
[Verse 7]
If you could only see your heart belongs to me
I love you so much, I'm yearning for your touch
Come and set me free, forever yours I'll be
Baby, won't you come and take this pain away?
[Verse 8]
Last night, I couldn't even get an answer (Oh, baby, what you wanna do to me? Oh)
I tried to call, but my pride wouldn't let me dial (Why would you just hurt me, baby?)
And I'm sitting here with this blank expression (Don't save me baby, don't, no)
And the way I feel, I wanna curl up like a child (I'm so alone, I'm so lonely, baby, oh)
[Verse 9]
Tell me what words to say to make you come back
Don't break me like that
And if it matters, I'd rather stay home
With you, I'm never alone
Don't wanna wait till you're gone
Whatever you do, just don't leave me
[Verse 10]
Last night, I couldn't even get an answer (Couldn't get an answer, baby, oh)
I tried to call, but my pride wouldn't let me dial (Oh, couldn't you just dial me, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby)
And I'm sitting here with this blank expression (Don't sit there, no)
And the way I feel, I wanna curl up like a child (I'm so alone, I'm so lonely, baby, oh)
[Verse 11]
I need you, and you need me
This is so plain to see
And I will never let you go
And I will always love you so
I will
[Verse 12]
If you could only see your heart belongs to me
I love you so much, I'm yearning for your touch
Come and set me free, forever yours I'll be
Baby, won't you come and take my pain away?
[Verse 13]
Last night, I couldn't even get an answer (I couldn't get you, baby, yeah, oh)
I tried to call, but my pride wouldn't let me dial (Why couldn't you just dial me, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby)
And I'm sitting here with this blank expression (Don't sit there, no)
And the way I feel, I wanna curl up like a child (I'm so alone, I'm so lonely, baby, oh)
[Verse 14]
Why don't you pick up the phone and dial up my number
And call me up, baby? I'm waiting on you
Why don't you pick up the phone and dial up my number
Just call me up, baby? I'm waiting on you
