Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lately you don't spend much time with me no more
Folks say that you all over town, that you been messing around
But I know they lied on you, that ain't what my woman would do
But days go by and I wonder why
I don't see you no more like I did before
[Verse 2]
Lately I can't get you on the phone no more, Lord, Lord
Last night when I knocked on your door, some guy said, "What you here for?"
It was such a surprise to see that hate in his eyes
But you are there and I am here
I know I deserve an explanation, dear
As days go by, I sit and I cry
From this hurt inside and then no reply
[Verse 3]
I sit by my telephone, waiting for you to call me at home
Walk to my window and I, I know I can't be here without you no more
Come on back, hurry back to me, baby
If you don't, if you don't, you don't want to...
