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
ooh ooh ooh ooh
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
Standing here,
baptisted in all
my tears
Baby through the years
You know I'm crying
ooh ooh ooh ooh
You never ever worry
And you never
shed a tear
You 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 baby
Standing here baptised
in all my tears
Baby through the years
You know I'm crying,
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
