Listen baby, it’s been a while since I’ve talked to you And you’ve talked to me So this song is especially for you and I Listen closely baby
Why can’t we sit by the fireplace and play telepathy I wanna read your mind and see if you’re thinking about me It’s been a while since I’ve sat down and expressed the way that I feel But I’m about to cry cause it’s too late and the pain is real
And it’s too much to bear And I’m so awfully scared I need someone who feels me I need someone who loves me
Why don’t I stay a while with you? We can confess what we’ve been through To one another to each other There’s nothing I’ll keep from you Why don’t you reach and grab my hand I’ll be the one who understands You can count on me I won’t do you wrong I’ll be here with open arms You can count on me I’ll be here with open arms
By the way that you are talking you It’s telling me that you’re so hurt (so hurt) Your insinuations are screaming to me That you’re really hurt (so hurt) I wanna be a mechanic and fix everything that is wrong For you to be crying and feeling so down baby that’s so wrong
And it’s too much to bear yeah You seem so awfully scared You need someone who feels you You need someone who (loves you)
Why don’t I stay a while with you? We can confess what we’ve been through To one another to each other There’s nothing I’ll keep from you Why don’t you reach and grab my hand I’ll be the one who understands You can count on me I won’t do you wrong I’ll be here with open arms
We’ll need no more We’ll have each other and love will endure No pain just love With you that’s all I see and I think of And for you I’ll give my right and left arm I’ll forever be the man who won’t do you wrong Forever love you that’s no question You’re the one girl I’m confessing I’m confessing
Why don’t I stay a while with you? We can give back what we’ve been through To one another to each other There’s nothing I’ll keep from you Why don’t you reach and grab my hand I’ll be the one who understands You can count on me I won’t do you wrong I’ll be here with open arms
You can count on me I’ll be here with open arms You can count on me I’ll be here with open arms
Oh yes I will yes I will I’ll be here with open arms
