I'll be here for you baby,

Quero ver ya
I never knew it could feel so funny
Like a gambling game when you got no money
The stakes are high and I might just lose you
I don't know why but I think that you do

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know was it mine or your mistake
Let me see, let me see, let me see did I make you walk away
Uptown, downtown, all around they're telling all kind of lies
But I'm now and I'm here and I want you to open up your eyes

I'll be here for you baby
Oh, can't you see I miss you so bad, I go crazy
You could have it all, the beauty, the power
If you just come and step down from your ivory tower

Eu pensei que foste tu que deíxas-te
Mas fui eu, e tu sempre me amas-te
I guess I took you too much for granted
And made you feel so alone and stranded

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know was it mine or your mistake
Let me see, let me see, let me see did I make you walk away
Uptown, downtown, all around they're telling all kind of lies
But I'm now and I'm here and I want you to open up your eyes

I'll be here for you baby
Oh, can't you see I miss you so bad, I go crazy
You could have it all, the beauty, the power
If you just come and step down from your ivory tower

I could use my magic potion
But it might not make you stay
I could talk so much to turn your head
But you'd just walk away
So instead I'm at your front door
Making a fool out of myself
When you open up and look me in the eye
Nao te podes defender

I'll be here for you baby
Oh, can't you see I miss you so bad, I go crazy
You could have it all, the beauty, the power
If you just come and step down from your ivory tower
