[Intro]
Love has gone
Gone away to stay
I need you

[Verse 1]
Watching the rising sun, counting calls one by one
Believe me, girl, there's no fun
When it's only done by one, I need you

[Chorus]
More than anything else in this world, I need you
To brighten my day, to chase away the hurt and pain
You left me when you said goodbye
Listen to me, baby

[Verse 2]
Time passes all so slow, got nowhere to go
Sit on the benches of the beach, you know
No, nothing means a thing no mo' without you

[Chorus]
More than anything else in this world, I need you
To brighten my day, to chase away the hurt and pain
You left me when you said goodbye
Oh, girl, I wanna know why
[Instrumental Break]

[Interlude]
Love has rained
Gone away to stay
Love has rained
Gone away to stay
Hey, girl

[Verse 3]
I can't hear and I can't sleep (Ooh-ooh)
My life is so incomplete, no, no, I don't want to live
If my love I can't give to you

[Chorus]
More than anything else in this world, I need you
To brighten my day, to chase away the hurt and pain
You left me when you said goodbye
Oh, girl, I just wanna die
