Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How you doing?
Wha-what you talking bout you leaving?
You can't leave me you need me
Come here come here where you going?
Oh it's like that huh? Alright
Oh oh oh
Here I am lonely and waiting
Wondering where you gone
And if you coming home
But you don't care
Cause if you did you wouldn't leave me
Sitting all alone
Is it something that you want
Everytime I'm in need of some loving
To show me that you care
You know you never there
Whats the use in being true to you
I'm never on your mind
I'm just a waste of time
All I need is someone to be there so
Come close to me
Close
Close to me
Every night I before I go to sleep
Come close to me
So Close
Close to me
Holding me tight almost every night
Close to me
Aye yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi
Always attending to those others
What about my needs?
You should be there for me-ee
How could it be that I lost you to another?
Tell me if I'm true cause I gave my best to you
I tried to prove
To you that I'm truthful
Why can't you see I want you close to me
Can't you see
We need to be together
Are all that we worked for soon be no more?
All I need is someone to be there so
Come close to me
Close
Close to me
Every night I before I go to sleep
Come close to me
So Close
Close to me
Holding me tight almost every night(so)
Close to me
Aye yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi
So why should I go through this knowing you don't care
How I feel oh oh oh
If I'm to be I'm trying to leave you
But I don't think I will
O oh o oh o oh o oh o oh o oh o no no no no no no no no
O oh o oh o oh o oh o oh o oh o no no no no no no no no
O oh o oh o oh o oh o oh o oh o no o no
Come close to me come close to me
