Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I'm curious to know exactly how you are I keep my distance but that distance is too far It reassures me just to know that you're okay But I don't want you to go on needing me this way And I don't want to know if you are lonely Don't want to know if you are less than lonely Don't want to know if you are lonely Don't want to know, don't want to know The day you left me, left me feeling oh so bad Still I'm not sure about all the doubts we had From the beginning we both knew it wouldn't last Decisions have been made the die has been cast The phone is ringing and the clock says four A.M. If it's your friends, well I don't want to hear from them Please leave your number and a message at the tone Or you can just go on and leave me alone
