Lately I've been trying to have a word or two

Waiting for a moment to get to you

As I've been restraining what I need to say

Silence gets misunderstood some way

And now it's time to sit right down and make my point of view

Otherwise, love of mine, I'll fall away from you

Woman, I'm a singer, that's all that I'll ever be

Give and take, and don't complicate, the simple harmonies

There's nothing I need from you that you should keep from me

Nothing that you hold sets you free

And all I have these simple words that I will give to you

He's the fool who won't reach out and tries to play it cool

I'm crying, baby, I'm crying

And it feels like I'm dying

'Cause I can't get next to you

I'm crying, baby, I'm crying

And it feels like I'm dying

'Cause I can't get next to you

Darling, come on and hold me

I need a one and only

Baby, hear me when I say, baby

I'm crying, baby, I'm crying

And it feels like I'm dying

'Cause I can't get next to you

I'm crying, baby, I'm crying

And it feels like I'm dying

'Cause I can't get next to you
