Baby, I know you’re feelin’ down
Lonely ‘n depressed
You think the world has it in for you
You’re restless ‘n anxious the whole night thru
But, calm down
The tide will turn
But don’t wait for that day to come –
Just get yourself together
Things can only get better
Bury your sadness in the settin’ sun, ‘n
Baby, don‘t go runnin‘ away with my heart
Don‘t go paradin‘ it down the street –
If you don’t want my love anymore
Let me go but please be sure
It seems you can’t make up your mind when we meet…
Whether to stay
Or whether to go
You don’t really know –
But if you go
Before we part
Baby, please, return my heart, yeah
Baby, don’t you lie to me
If it’s over
Then it’s over…
‘N if it’s over
Then I’ll just brush you from my shoulder
‘N call it a day
So, walk away (If you must)
Just walk away (If there’s no more trust)
There’s nothin’ more that I can say
The night is still
The night is silent
‘Cept for just a little light rain –
It could be the calm before the stormy weather
See, there’s usually silence before the violence
Whenever we get together…
Lately, baby, we can’t seem to get along
Our love’s as weak as it once was strong
It’s an endless debate
About life on this planet
Is it fate that rules our lives
Or can destiny be changed if we demand it…
Well, who knows
Nobody knows
‘N it doesn’t really matter anyway –
You just get up
‘N “do your thing”
‘N forget about crossin’ over the line into those divine hallways
Baby, I know it‘s crazy
Baby, I know it‘s true
When love walks thru your door
And stands right next to you
Should you turn ‘n walk away
Or close your eyes til it ignores you
Or should you let it in
Baby, if you just open your heart
You‘ll never be lonely again – so, baby
I’m on my own
For the very first time
It’s scary
It’s lonely
Oh, I’m miserable…
It’s downright depressin’ (Bein’ on my own)
No one caressin’ me (I’m cold as a stone)
Oh, I need a little tenderness I need a lift
My stability is a little shaky
Cos’ my engine’s barely runnin ‘n in need of a shift, oh please
