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'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
You pack my bags I feel already gone.....
I've had to watch your silent face moving
around the house,
It's been several days, you can really
shut me out.
I draw up my thoughts to find a way to say
Something mending us, you shrug and then
you turn away.
You pack my bags I feel already gone....
It's like you pushed me with your hand and I
was pointing forward.
I could've been blindfolded and I'd know
where the door was.
I had to step aside, I had to be perfect.
I had to hold your hand, anticipate and second
guess.
And would you wipe it out with that much
distaste,
Take it from your heart, the hands, the lips,
the mouth, the taste.
It is more than hurt I can't communicate.
What you leave me with, the ache, the ache,
the ache.
You pack my bags I feel already gone.
Like the countries that seem to shuffle
into war,
The way it's lining up baby, we've been
here before.
We never took the time for no diplomacy.
How am I supposed to know what you're
not telling me?
When I'm standing here with my rugged choir,
You can't hurt me now I'm holding all the wires.
Calling down to you with a grateful sigh,
Thank you baby, you have sent me high.
You pack my bags I feel already gone....
Already gone, already gone.
Yeah, I'm gone.
You pack my bags and now I'm gone.
Now I'm gone...
