Everyday I'm growing a little bit closer to you.
I find myself doing everything you ask me to do.
We talk a little then you say you have to be gone.
But when you leave me the memory hangs on and on.
Why don't you linger a little bit longer.
Won't you linger a little bit longer.
Move in closer now feel my love grow stronger.
Linger a little bit longer,
A little bit longer.
I can see you thinking about what your love means to me.
I can sense the feelings that nobody else sees.
You're always in a rush how I wish you'd take a little time.
Why run when one kiss could make you mine all mine.
Why don't you linger a little bit longer.
Won't you linger a little bit longer.
Move in closer feel my love grow stronger.
Linger a little bit longer.
Breaks me up every time that you go away,
Wouldn't it be simpler all round if you were to stay, yeah.
Linger a little bit longer.
Won't you linger just a little bit longer.
Move in closer feel my love grow stronger.
Linger a little bit longer.
Won't you linger a little bit longer......move in closer.
Feel my love grow stronger.
Linger, a little bit longer.
Why don't you linger a little bit longer
Won't you linger a little bit longer.
Move in closer feel my love grow stronger..
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 don't know what's on your mind.
But I know what's in your heart.
There's a distance in your eyes,
You're not as strong as you think you are.
Everybody needs somebody,
You're gonna need somebody too.
I'm right in front of you.
You don't see me...you don't hear me.
You're giving me the cold shoulder.
You leave me in the dark.
When I call you, you don't answer.
The only thing I ever wanted, the only thing I ever wanted,
Was to be with you, and hold you in my arms, to be with you.
I don't know what's on your mind,
But I know what's in your heart.
Why you fighting, what you know is right.
Baby come inside my arms,
Cos everybody needs somebody.
Soon you're gonna need somebody too.
I'm right in front of you.
You don't see me, you don't hear me.
You're giving me the cold shoulder
You leave me in the dark
When I call you, you don't answer
The only thing I ever wanted, the only thing I ever wanted
Was to be with you, and hold you in my arms, to be with you
Why ya holding back, ain't no sense (don't make no sense)
Break down your defences
Why ya holding back, ain't no sense (don't make no sense)
Break down your defences
You don't see me, you don't hear me
You're giving me the cold shoulder
You leave me in the dark
When I call you, you don't answer
The only thing I ever wanted, the only thing I ever wanted
Was to be with you, and hold you in my arms, to be with you
