Oh, you've sold me you hold me You've told me I'll be getting all your love You can go wrong If you hold on for so long Just because you hate to give up Do I love you ooh ooh I'm afraid I do Do you love me, once upon a time I was sure I knew [Chorus] I don't like what I been thinkin' If it's true, Oh you know I'm a fool Face to face you promise me forever But the ring's still sittin' in a store downtown And I'm still sittin' here Waitin' for the deal to go down I get lonely and lonely is only The hardest way to spend the night Then you call me You call me and stall me And swear you're gonna make it right So I hang on Oh that's just the way things are But the pay off I been waitin' for Just might break my heart [Chorus] Is there someone out there I don't know about Convince me babe beyond the shadow of a doubt I don't like what I been thinkin' If it's true, Oh you know I'm a fool Face to face you promise me forever But the ring's still sittin' in a store downtown And I'm still sittin' here Waitin' for the deal to go down Waitin' for the deal to go down
