Deniece Williams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I cried for ya
If you don't believe all the nights with you gone
I sighed for ya
And if you don't believe while you're away
That my life gets emptier with each breath that I take
Now I must concede that it's you I truly need
Missing lover
Where are ya?
Oh, where?
If you don't believe all the sad, lonely songs
I sing for ya
If you don't believe it's my heart in your hands
That I'll bring for ya
If you don't believe every step that I take
I'll wait for ya
If you don't believe that each word I speak
I speak for ya...
And if you don't believe while you're away
That my life gets emptier with each breath that I take
And now I must concede that it's you I truly need
So I try, for you.
Missing lover,
Where, where are ya?
Oh, where?
And if you don't believe while you're away
That my life gets emptier, with each breath that I take
And now I must concede that it's you I truly, truly need
So I try, and I try and I try for you, yeah
So I try, so I try, I try
Ba-bay, I try for you, umm hmm

I know she has other BIGGER HITS but to me, this is Niecy's BEST WORK. It gives you goose pimples to think that when we are young and using our gifts, we don't treasure them at all. I know she must be proud of this. This is very FINE WORK.
