Capo on 1st fret
Intro:
Say, say, say what you want
But don&#039;t play games
With my affection
Take, take, take what you need
But don&#039;t leave me
With no direction
All alone, I sit home by the phone
Waitin&#039; for you, baby
Through the years
How can you stand to hear
My pleadin&#039; for you dear?‎
You know I&#039;m cryin&#039;,ooh,ooh,ooh
Bridge:
Yeah, yeah
Now go, go, go where you want
But don&#039;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?‎
&#039;Cause I love you, baby
Standin&#039; here, baptized
In all my tears
Baby, through the years,
you know I&#039;m cryin&#039;,ooh,ooh, ooh
Bridge:
All alone, I sit home by the phone
Waitin&#039; for you, baby
Through the years
How can you stand to hear
My pleadin&#039; for you dear?‎
You know I&#039;m cryin&#039;, ooh, ooh, ooh
