Dave Matthews Band

Dave Matthews Band, abbreviated DMB, is an American rock band that was formed in Charlottesville, Virginia, U.S. in 1991. The group's lyrical themes focus on topics ranging from God, love, sex, the enjoyment and appreciation of life, to ending racism, and political and anti-war statements. The founding members were singer-songwriter and guitarist Dave Matthews, bassist Stefan Lessard, drummer/backing vocalist Carter Beauford and saxophonist LeRoi Moore. Boyd Tinsley was added to the band as a violinist soon after the band was formed. Moore died suddenly in August 2008 due to complications from injuries sustained in an ATV accident. Grammy Award-winner Jeff Coffin, of Béla Fleck and the Flecktones, has since filled Moore's spot as the band's saxophonist. Rasha… more »

I call you up, you pick up.
You call my bluff, on the cards of love.

You hold too close, your hands to your chest.
I can read your eyes, but I confess.

It's lonely far from you, even when you're right by me.
It's only while I wait for you, to take my hand

Why do I beg like a child for your candy? Why do I come after you like I do? 
I love you. Whatever you are, I swear. You'll be my angel. 
You.

I play my cards as best I can. But I lose my luck when you're not here.
My darling heart, won't you please give in?
I may be strong but I want you back again.

When you're not here, oh, it's hard to pretend
It's all alright again.

When you're not here, love, it's hard to pretend It's all alright, still
Why do I beg like a child for your candy? 
Why do I run after you like I do? I love you. 
Whatever you are I swear, you'll be my angel. 
You.

Watch the day, count your cards. 
It makes no sense that I'm always losing when you're gone.
Why do I beg like a child for your candy
Why do I come after you like I do? I love you. 
Whatever you are I swear, you'll be my angel. 
You.
When you're gone.
