LYRICS

THERE WAS A TIME WHEN I NEEDED A MAN
NIGHT AFTER NIGHT I WAS PLAYING MY HAND
EASY COME AND EASY GO SO SO HIGH THEN SO SO LOW
I GAVE UP MY HEART SO MANY TIMES
ALL OF THESE MEN THEY WOULD FEED ME THEIR LINES
I GOT SO TIRED OF ALL OF THEIR GAMES
TURNING MY SUNSHINE RIGHT INTO RAIN

(CHORUS)

IF YOU WANT ME, BABY
IF YOU NEED ME LATELY
CAN YOU PLEASE ME, BABY
YOU BETTER BE THERE FOR ME


AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT HAD TO BE ME
THAT?S WHEN I FOUND OUT IT WASN?T TO BE
I DON?T WANT TO HEAR THOSE LIES ANYMORE
NOW I JUST TURN AND WALK OUT THAT DOOR
THINGS ALWAYS CHANGE WHEN THEY GET WHAT THEY WANT
WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PUT UP A FRONT
I CRIED MY HEART OUT NIGHT AFTER NIGHT
NOW IT?S TIME THAT I PUT UP A FIGHT

(CHORUS)
BRIDGE-SOLO

WHEN DID I MEET YOUWHAT WAS YOUR NAME
I?M REALLY SORRY BUT I DON?T FEEL THE SAME
GIVE ME YOUR NUMBER I MIGHT CALL YOU SOME TIME
I?M STARTING TO REALIZE THAT I?M IN MY PRIME
I?M SURE I?LL FIND WHAT I?M LOOKING FOR
I DON?T HAVE TO RUSH THING?S ANYMORE
I?LL BE HAPPY EVEN WHEN I?M IN PAIN
I?VE LEARNED TO DEAL WITH THIS EMOTIONAL STRAIN
I WILL NEVER EVER STAY DOWN EVEN IF THEY DON?T COME AROUND
