it's late in the evening

and i know i'm not where i should be

anyplace and everyplace is lonely

when you're not with me

and i wrap your arms around me

as if they could protect me from

anything and everything

that comes my way

baby, now tell me am i clinging to a dream

are you a fantasy or exactly what you seem to be

i need to know, before i fall in love

i'm walking down the street

searching for something to entertain me

to keep my mind

from missing you

but nothing can satisfy me

the way you do without even trying

with your easy ways

and that look in your eyes

baby, now tell me am i clinging to a dream

are you a fantasy or exactly what you seem to be

baby, now tell me am i clinging to a dream

are you a fantasy or exactly what you seem to be

i need to know, before i

i need to know, before i

i need to know, before i fall in love

and when it's late at night

do you dream of me holding you tight

cause i think of you all the time

and i wonder do thoughts of me invade your

mind

i need to know before i

i need to know before i

i need to know before i fall in love
