You oughta know by now
how to play the game
even though you were away
things are still the same

You are what you want
but it's just hard to see
through these masks of deception
that don't let you be

Chorus:   So boy, come here
             and tell me what I wanna hear
             a lonely tear
             falls from my eye
             and I cry

You were kind to let me go
but I wanna stay
be here right by your side
and all these things to say

Understand, I'm not trying
to be someone I'm not
everything I offer you
is everything I've got

Chorus:   So boy, come here
             and tell me what I wanna hear
             a lonely tear
             falls from my eye
             and I cry

It's funny how some things change
from one side to another
you sit there smiling carelessly
I look at you and wonder

Now that you're back
we can finally be together
you promise me and I promise you
that this time it's forever
