Lyrics
TUCSON
BY STEPHEN T. WEEKS
(C) 1986-2005
BABY I, JUST WOKE YOU UP TO SAY
BABY I, GOT MARRIED YESTERDAY
SO I'M CALLING YOU FROM TUCSON, ARIZONA
JUST TO TELL YOU HOW I FEEL, I STILL CARE
THOUGH I PROMISED YOU, YOU COULD BE MY WOMAN
I WON'T BE THERE, I WON'T BE THERE
BABY I, KNOW HOW YOU MUST FEEL
BABY I, KNOW YOUR LOVE IS REAL
SO I'M CALLING YOU FROM TUCSON, ARIZONA
JUST TO TELL YOU HOW I FEEL, I STILL CARE
THOUGH I PROMISED YOU, YOU COULD BE MY WOMAN
I WON'T BE THERE, I WON'T BE THERE
JUST WHEN I FOUND THE ONLY LOVE COULD SAVE ME
I TRADED IN MY FOOLISH HEART FOR WEALTH
GIRL WHEN I THINK WHAT A FOOL I LET THEM MAKE ME
I START TO CRY, CAN'T STOP THE TIDE
RUSHING ASHORE, TO TAKE MY LIFE...
BABY I, JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW
BABY I, WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU SO
SO I'M CALLING YOU FROM TUCSON, ARIZONA
JUST TO TELL YOU HOW I FEEL, I STILL CARE
THOUGH I PROMISED YOU, YOU COULD BE MY WOMAN
I WON'T BE THERE, I WON'T BE THERE...
THINK OF THE LOVE WHEN YOU MISS ME BABY
SAY A LITTLE PRAYER WHEN IT DRIVES YOU CRAZY
WHEN YOU FEEL DOWN REMEMBER, I STILL CARE
I STILL CARE, SAY A PRAYER!
