Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To love you, baby, and I can't stand in line, oh-oh, yeah
Left me nothing and I'm here hoping
That you'll come back for love, oh-oh, yeah
Don't always tell me why you left me here alone
Guess I was not the right, oh, baby
Don't tell me one more lie because I want to hear my heart
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
You're a ghost in my dreams, babe
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
And I want to see your faith, yeah
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
I want to love you again
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
And I want to see your faith, yeah
You're a ghost in my dreams, babe
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
And I want to see your faith, yeah
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
I want to love you again

You say I'm crazy
To love you, baby, and I can't stand in line, oh-oh, yeah
Left me nothing and I'm here hoping

Don't always tell me why you left me here alone
Guess I was not the right, oh, baby
Don't tell me one more lie because I want to hear my heart
Doesn't understand your love
