GWell I've come to know the look on your face
When you're lying about where you've been

If you Dask for my C9forgiveness
If you Dcall my name I will C9come
If you Dask for my C9love I will give you Gsome
GSome day I know you will understand
Some day you'll finally realize
What you're C9doing to your Gself

Like I did the night be Gfore
And in the morning I will get you up
And I will smile just when you want me C9to
'Cause I'm all you Ghave
When you Dask for my C9forgiveness
When you Dcall my name I will C9come
When you Dask for my C9love I will give you Gsome
