4 every night that u've been gone i've lit a candle

There must be 99 around my bed, around my bed

Lying awake all night long tears in vain

Sometimes I think that i'd be better off dead

Being without you is murder baby



Get in a taxi, subway train

Don't make me cry these tears in vain, baby

A hundred nights without u is murder baby

A 101 just won't do, no!



Why do I cry 4 u - u probably found someone new

And no one deserves ya, I say, no one deserves ya like I do

Baby u know it's true

Oooh - what we had u said was meant 2 be



If that was true tell me why'd u leave

Baby, I wanna know

I'm sick of, i'm sick of, i'm sick of

Crying these tears in vain baby



Why don't cha get in a taxi, subway train

I'm going mad baby

I'm going insane baby don't cha know

101 just won't do - no, no listen



Nothing on TV, my girlfriends bore me

They try to please me but I need u baby

U and me need 2 be together, together physically

Why can't you come see about me?

Why can't you come see about me?

U've got 2 get in a taxi, subway train

Don't make me cry these tears in vain, baby

A hundred nights without u is murder baby

A 101 just won't do, no!

No just won't do



I'm in the funk

I'm in deep

U got to come baby see about me

That 101 just won't do
