Can I be of any help to you, baby
She says help me, help her, help him too
Well I made up my mind I won't be calling
I think about you and
I think about the heartbroken ones 

It's a real long way to go to say goodbye
I thought we already did that
Have fun tell the world
Well it's a real long way to go to say goodbye
I thought we already did that
Have fun tell the world

High in my life obsessive was my love
Worth it was my time Oh no, you are fading out
Well I can do it 
Well I can make it one more time

It's a real long way to go to say goodbye
I thought we already did that
Have fun tell the world
Well it's a real long way to go to say goodbye
I thought we already did that
Have fun tell the world

Can I be of any help to you?
She says help him, help her, help him too, baby
Well I can do it 
Well I can make it one more time

Well it's a real long way to go to say goodbye
I thought we already did that
Have fun tell the world
Well it's a real long way to go to say goodbye
I thought we already said that
So have fun tell the world

You were high in my life obsessive was my love
So have fun tell the world

Well can you be of any help to me
Have fun tell the world
