Tell me why
You here
Somewhere deep for me
But I still
Feel lonely
I wanna know
What you done to me
I wanna know

What you done to me
Tell me why
You here
Somewhere deep for me
All I want you stay
I wanna
And a life again
Don't wanna let
Don't wanna let go my love
Don't wanna wait
Don't wanna wait to hear a song
Don't wanna wait of my love
Baby wannt you

Tell me why
You here
Somewhere deep for me
But I still
Feel lonely

What you done to me
Somewhere deep in me
