Lyrics
How could you leave me so soon?
Even got you that French perfume
Picked you up when you were down
Couldn't believe what I found
See what you're doing to me?
What is it you want me to be?
Thought I'd finally got it right
Baby, I need your love tonight
Woke up one day now you're gone
Your perfect smile lingering on
My buddies warned me off you
Said you're nothing but bad news
See what you're doing to me?
What is it you want me to be?
Thought I'd finally got it right
Baby, I need your love tonight
(middle 8)
May not be from your side of town
Struggle to hold any job down
Make it up is how I get by
I'm just like every other guy
But you know we had it made
Look at all the bills I paid
I never cheated on you once
Well maybe when I was drunk
See what you're doing to me?
What is it you want me to be?
Thought I'd finally got it right
Baby, I need your love tonight
They say you've started again
Always have the pick of the men
Don't know how to get over you
It's so bad I'm back in that queue
See what you're doing to me?
What is it you want me to be?
Thought I'd finally got it right
Baby, I need your love tonight
Baby, I need your love tonight
