I catch it 'fore it hits the ground.
Cry a little for our fears Baby Baby,
I'm so scared, there's something wrong,
I hid you in the corner of my empty room,
Never really cared til now,
Not standing in the corner from Me,
Anymore, you've done your time,
When my time is thru, oh,
Can I still come home to you?
Anytime Anytime you want me,
Anytime Anytime you're lonely,
You just have to call,
'Cause you know I'll be there.
Ewwww Ewwwwww...
Anytime Anytime, you need me,
Anytime Anytime, maybe you're dreamin',
Waking up all alone, your heart is screaming... Oh...
I know I caused you so much pain,
I promise that I'll never hurt you again.
Even though the scars remain,
With a little time I know, We can win,
can't stop this ride,
Lost control of my desire,
Still it burns for you,
Like it always used to do.
Anytime Anytime you want me,
Anytime Anytime you're lonely,
You just have to call,
'Cause you know I'll be there.
Ewwww Ewwwwwww...
Anytime Anytime, you need me,
Anytime Anytime, maybe you're dreamin',
Waking up all alone, your heart is screaming, Oh...
And after the war is over,
and all the fightings thru,
Can't I make my peace with you,
I wanna come home to you.
Anytime Anytime you want me,
Anytime Anytime you're lonely,
You just have to call,
'Cause I'm always there.
Yeah Yeah
Anytime Anytime, you need me,
Anytime Anytime, maybe you're dreamin',
Waking up all alone, your heart is screaming... Oh...
(Anytime Anytime) anytime you want me,
(Anytime Anytime) ewwwww so lonely, so lonely,
but you know I care, Yeah!
Anytime Anytime... do you need me...
Anytime Anytime, oh are you dreamin',
Waking up all alone your heart is screamin'...
