A thing about you I pick up the phone, I'm dialing your number While I pray you're at home, At home and alone Cause I can't function on my own And I'll never stop believingâ?¦ The reaping is done, You are the one The radio is on but the sound is all gone And I want to walk out in the sun But lately that's been very hard to do I've got a thing about you And I don't really know what to do Cause I've got a thing about you I pick up the phone, I'm dialing that number And my heart like a stone Waits for the tone Oh I can't make it on my own And I'll never stop believingâ?¦ I know what is right and this is so wrong Alone in my bed, better off on my own The TV is on but the colors are gone And lately you've been painting my world blue I've got a thing about you (I've got a thing about you) And I don't really care what you do I've got a thing about you (I've got a thing about you) Yeah, you I've got a thing about you I've got a thing about you Lately you've been painting my world blue I've got a thing about you (I've got a thing about you) And I don't really know what to do I've got a thing about you Hoping this story cuts through (this story cuts through) Yeah, I've got a thing about you A thing about you I've got a thing about you I've got a thing about you And I don't really know what to do I've got a thing about youâ?¦
