So if you love me, say you love me
But if you don't just let me go

'Cause teacher, there are things that I don't want to learn
And the last one I had made me cry
So I don't want to learn to hold you
Touch you, think that you're mine
Because it ain't no joy for an uptown boy
Whose teacher has told him goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

With no vivid reason here to find

With you say no special place to go
But when I ask will you be coming back soon
You don't know, never know

I'm not livin' without you
I don't wanna be free
I'm stayin', I'm stayin'
And you, and you, and you
You're gonna love me

In my sleepless solitude tonight

Without you by my side

Didn't I give it all
Tried my best
Gave you everything I had
Everything and no less

Well, having me around
Still how can you walk away
From all my tears?
It's gonna be an empty road
Without me right here

And life is so cruel without you here beside me

So i'm never gonna dance again
The way i danced with you

To let you walk right out my life
And blow my heart away

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
When sooner or later it's over
I just don't wanna miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I should be crying but I just can't let it show

All the things we should've done but we never did
All the things we should've given but I didn't

I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me

I know I'll be there at the end of the day

I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to...

While all the time that I was loving you
You were busy loving yourself
I would stop breathing if you told me to

Eleven years out of my life
Besides the kids I have nothing to show
Wasted my years a fool of a wife
I shoulda have left your ass long time ago
