I need your arms around me

I need to feel your touch

I need your understanding

I need your love, so much

You tell me that you love me so

You tell me that you care

But when I need you (baby)

Baby, (you're never there)



On the phone long, long distance

Always through such strong resistance

First you say you're too busy

I wonder if you even miss me



Chorus:

Never there

You're never there

You're never ever, ever, ever, there

Never there

You're never there

You're never ever, ever, ever, there

(Trumpet Break)

A golden bird that flies away

A candle's fickle flame

To think I held you yesterday

Your love was just a game

A golden bird that flies away

A candle's fickle flame

To think I held you yesterday

Your love was just a game



You tell me that you love me so

You tell me that you care

But when I need you (baby)

Baby!



Take the time to get to know me

If you want me why can't you just show me

We're always on this roller coaster

If you want me why can't you get closer



Chorus
