Say, say, say what you want
but don't play games with my affection
Take, take, take what you need
but don't leave me with no direction
All alone I sit home by the phone waiting for you
baby
Through the years
how can you stand to hear my pleading for you dear
You know I'm crying,
oh oh oh oh oh
Yeah
Now go, go, go where you want
but don't leave me here forever
You, you, you stay away so long,
girl, I see you never
What can I do, girl, to get through to you
Cause I love you baby baby
Standing here baptized in all my tears,
baby through the years
You know I'm crying,
oh oh oh oh oh
You never ever worry and you never shed a tear
You're saying that my love ain't real
Just look at my face, these tears ain't drying
You, you, you can never say that I'm not the one
who really loves you
I pray, pray, pray every day
that you'll see things, girl, like I do
What can I do, girl, to get through to you
Cause I love you love you baby baby
Standing here baptized in all my tears,
baby through the years
You know I'm crying,
oh oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
