Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I messed around,
Didn't cheat,
All she wanted was my autograph,
And yeah, it's true, where were two,
There was no one there to hold me back;
But i'm with you, and i do,
Yes i do, yes i do,
And you know that i'll be commin' back
So baby hold on,
Cuz i've been so strong,
But i'll wait only so long.
I cant take that you wont call me back,
So im in stereo;
Beggin' you to call me back,
Cuz i feel,
That your the only girl that is real,
So if this heart attack does kill,
Then will you call me back,
And say come over tonight.
Will you call me back?
Will you call me back?
I know you still can't believe,
We were touchin', talkin', holdin' hands,
But can't you see it from me,
I was talkin' to her for the band,
I swear it's true, that's the truth,
You can ask her if you wanna ask,
There's only you, 'cuz to me
There's no other girl i wanna have,
So baby hold on,
Cuz i've been so strong,
But i'll wait only so long.
I cant take that you wont call me back,
So im in stereo;
Beggin' you to call me back,
Cuz i feel,
That your the only girl that is real,
So if this heart attack does kill,
Then will you call me back,
Call me back, cuz i feel
That you're the only girl that is real,
So if this heart attack doesn't kill,
Then will you call me back?
And say come over tonight.
