For every night that you'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 you is murder baby

A 101 just won't do, no

Why do I cry for you?

You probably found someone new

And no one deserves ya, I say

No one deserves ya like I do

Baby, you know it's true

Ooh, what we had you said was meant to be

If that was true, tell me, why'd you 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 you, baby

You and me, need to be together

Together physically

Why can't you come see about me?

Why can't you come see about me?

You've got to get in a taxi, subway train

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

A hundred nights without you is murder, baby

A 101 just won't do, no, no just won't do

I'm in the funk, I'm in deep

You got to come, baby, see about me

That 101 just won't do
