It's been awhile. Though I think I made you smile. I been singin' my song. Thinkin' I was wrong. But now I know. You know it takes so long. Though you're feelin' strong.
When I call your name, girl. Please don't feel no pain. When I call your name, girl. Please don't feel no pain. . I'm gonna win ya. Don't you see by now.
I can take you to the Eiffel Tower. I could call you every single hour. When I stayed behind in my chevrolet. I can hear, no matter what you say. . So all these things come into view.
I could be happy, sitting alone. Walking on my own. I need you, Lord knows why. I can live without you. . Putting my heart on the line (You know I am).
Working every day of my life. See what you can under candlelight, oh yeah. A dollar a day don't go so far. My woman's alive and i know she strive for me.
Shadows grow so long before my eyes. And they're moving across the page. Suddenly the day turns into night. Far away from the city. Well, don't hesitate 'cause your love just won't wait.
One step two step, close the door. All my records are on the floor. No time to myself it seems. People in my lounge hangin' from the beams. . Enough time to think 'cause the phone isn't ringin'.
