Last night (last night)
I couldn't even get an answer (answer)
I tried to call (tried to call)
but my pride wouldn't let me dial (dial, dial, dial)
And I'm sitting here with this blank expression (expression, expression, expression)
And the way I feel (way I feel)
I wanna curl up like a child (child, child)

I know you can hear me
I know you can feel me
I can't live without you
God, please make me better
I wish I wasn't the way I am

If I told you once, I told you twice
You can see it in my eyes
I'm all cried out with nothing to say
You're everything I wanted to be
If you could only see your heart belongs to me
I love you so much
I'm yearning for your touch
Come and set me free
Forever yours I'll be
Baby, won't you come and take this pain away?

Last night (oh last night)
I couldn't even get an answer
(Oh baby what you wanna do to me)
I tried to call, but my pride wouldn't let me dial
(Why wouldn't you just tell me baby, oh)
And I'm sitting here
With this blank expression
(Don't say it baby no no no)
And the way I feel
I wanna curl up like a child
(I'm so alone, I'm so lonely)

Tell me what words to say
To make you come back, and break me like that
And if it matters, I'd rather stay home
With you I'm never alone
Don't wanna wait 'til you're gone
Whatever you do
Just don't leave me

Last night
I couldn't even get an answer (couldn't get an answer baby)
I tried to call (call me baby)
But my pride wouldn't let me dial (oh couldn't you just tell me baby)
And I'm sitting here, with this blank expression (don't say that no)
And the way I feel, I wanna curl up like a child (I'm so alone, I'm so lonely)

I need you, and you need me
This is so plain to see
And I will never let you go
And I will always love you so, I will
If you could only see
Your heart belongs to me
I love you so much
I'm yearning for your touch
Come and set me free
Forever yours I'll be
Baby, won't you come and take my pain away?

Last night
I couldn't even get an answer (I couldn't answer baby yeah)
I tried to call (call me baby)
But my pride wouldn't let me dial (oh couldn't you just tell me baby)
And I'm sitting here, with this blank expression (don't say that no)
And the way I feel, I wanna curl up like a child (I'm so alone, I'm so lonely)

Why don't you pick up the phone
And dial up my number
And call me up, baby?
I'm waiting on you
