Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is there somebody out there that makes me feel as cold?
We used to go and run in circles where you would tell me to go
Yeah were you ever sorry, that you made me feel so blue?
No you didnt care you just left me there, alone

Silly girls they are calling, calling out your name
Baby its not your fault no your not not the one to blame
Did you think i was waiting, waiting just for you?
Baby i got i got better things to do

Just tell me baby

Tell me how to get close to your heart
Tell me how to get close to your heart
Tell me how to get close tell me now now yeah
Tell me how to get close to your heart
Tell me how to get close to your heart
Tell me how to get close tell me now now

You just keep on complaining that we're taking this too slow
Honey don't get me wrong but i just want to let things go, yeah
When you thought that you had me, no you had nothing at all
Can't you just work on your hands baby you were bound to fall

Just tell me baby

Tell me how to get close to your heart
Tell me how to get close tell me now now yeah

Oh baby if i had done this differently then maybe you would talk to me
