I've been thinking about what you said today.
I keep looking for reasons that would,
Wanna make me stay with you.
My love is not always there to take.
And how can I get through to you,
That this is how I feel when I'm...
Calling to you everyday
You don't give nothing away
Sharing one of your dreams
Gotta listen to me say...
How do you know what I want if you don't ask me,
You don't hear me.
How'd you know where to go
If I don't show you the way.
How'd you know how I feel,
If you don't touch me sincerely.
How'd you know, how'd you know
If you say stop when I press play.
I've been hoping that you didn't tell me lies.
I've been losing my way
While I'm holding this torch for you.
It's taking so long to realize.
I've been waiting to finally see
Reflections in your eyes of me...
Calling to you everyday.
You don't give nothing away.
Sharing one of your dreams.
Gotta listen to me say...
How do you know what I want if you don't ask me,
You don't hear me.
How'd you know where to go
If I don't show you the way.
How'd you know how I feel,
If you don't touch me sincerely.
How'd you know, how'd you know
If you say stop and I'm on my own
Calling you everyday.
Why do I feel alone?
You don't give nothing away
When you look at me.
Why can't you see
That I am not happy baby?
When I am lying in your arms.
Gotta listen to me say...
If I don't show you the way.
How do you know,
How I feel.
How do you know what I want if you don't ask me,
You don't hear me.
How'd you know...
How'd you know how I feel,
If you don't touch me sincerely.
How'd you know, how'd you know...
You don't ask me...you don't hear me.
How'd you know where to go
If I don't show you the way.
How'd you know how I feel,
If you don't touch me sincerely.
You don't hear me, no...no,
How'd you know, how'd you know...
I replay the memories in my mind.
I try to find the answers,
To the questions I find.
I can never seem to work it out.
What goes on inside.
Tell me is it secret?
Or am I just blind.
And the further we go,
The more that I know,
We just can't keep going this way.
If you could only tell me baby what you needed tonight.
Maybe I could do my best to stop you walkin'
out of my life.
If you could only see inside my heart,
You'd know this was right...so right.
If I could just read your mind.
If I could just read your mind.
Oh come on boy, just lay it on the line.
I can wait no longer,
For the right place or right time.
Do I need to spell it out to you?
What more can I say.
Tell me is it over,
Or have we just lost our way.
And the further we go,
The more that I know,
We just can't keep going this way.
If you could only tell me baby what you needed tonight.
Maybe I could do my best to stop you walkin'
out of my life.
If you could only see inside my heart,
You'd know this was right...so right...so right.
If I could just read your mind.
Oh baby, if I could just read your mind.
If you could only,
Maybe I could do my best to stop you walkin'
out of my life.
If you could only see inside my heart,
You'd know this was right...so right...so right.
If I could just read your mind.
If I could just read your mind.
Oh baby.
I've got something to tell you baby
In the arc of a love affair
Lies the point of no return
First you lose your self respect
Then you hide all the hurt
Well, I've been here thinkin'
Long enough to figure out
That a change has got to come
And it's all up to you
Be good or be gone
Love me or leave me baby, leave me alone
Cause I can be real bad baby, all by myself
Umm, one day you're gonna find yourself, by yourself
You see the choice is so simple now
Cause there really is no choice to make
I not gonna let you treat me badly
No, I won't be makin' that mistake
And it's all up to you
Be good or be gone
Love me or leave me baby, leave me alone
Cause I can be real bad baby, all by myself
Umm, one day you gonna find yourself, by yourself
Make a decision, make up your mind
Give me my proper respect and baby, don't ever forget
That a real love is precious and rare
But you've got to be ready to give, and ready to share
It's all up to you
Be good or be gone
Love me or leave me baby, leave me alone
Cause I can be real bad baby, all by myself
Umm, one day you gonna find yourself, by yourself
