I wanna be with you
Whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa oh
I wanna be with you
It?s all my fault today
I'm sorry for the way I was to you
It?s all so wrong you see
But if you ask me I will go
Anything for you
But if you ask me I will go
?Cause baby, I need you
Whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa oh
I wanna be with you
Whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa oh
I wanna see what you see, see what you see in me
Am I on my own today
All alone with nothing left to say?
Can it all go back the way
It used to be when you were here with me?
But if you ask me I will go
Anything for you
But if you ask me I will go
Baby, I need you
Whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa oh

?Cause I'm already lonely
And I don't know what to do, oh
Oh now, you say I can't be honest with you
You say I can't be honest
Well, what now?
