Lyrics

[Verse 1]
From a whisper in the wind (Whisper)
To a loud scream (Hey!)
The message came that I've lost you
To the warmth of another man
[Verse 2]
For Heaven sakes, girl, don't do this to me
[Verse 3]
(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh)
[Verse 4]
I've seen more tears fall from your eyes
Than all the showers of April
I took kindness for granted
As if it came with the wallpaper
[Verse 5]
So inconsiderate of how much you cared
For some stupid reason
I just thought you had to be there
[Verse 6]
Oh, my love (You've lost it)
Oh, my love (She's gone)
Mmm, my love (You've lost it)
Mmm (She's long gone)
[Verse 7]
For Heaven sakes, girl, don't do this to me
[Verse 8]
(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh)
[Verse 9]
I simply must have been crazy
I must have been out of my mind
To overlook the need in you
How could I have been so blind?
[Verse 10]
Never giving thoughts to your wants and needs
But now I'm begging, baby, please, please, please
[Verse 11]
Oh, my love (You've lost it)
Oh, my love (She's gone)
Mmm, my love (You've lost it)
Mmm
[Verse 12]
So inconsiderate of how much you cared
For some stupid reason
I just thought you had to be there
[Verse 13]
But oh, my love (You've lost it)
Oh, my love (She's gone)
Mmm, my love (You've lost it)
Mmm (She's long gone)
(Ooh)
(Mmm, mmm)
