Aditional Lyrics and Song Construction:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Verse 1:

Baby I got your number, and I know that you've got mine

You know that I called you, I called too many times

You can call me baby, you can call me anytime, you got to call me

<<< CHORUS >>>

Verse 2:

I don't want no-one to squeeze me, they might take away my life

I just want someone to hold me and rock me through the night

<<< SOLO >>>

Verse 3:

This youthful heart can love you, yes and give you what you need

This youthful heart can love you, and give you what you need

But I'm too old to go chasing you around, wasting my precious energy

<<< CHORUS >>>

Outro Chorus:

Baby just give me one reason, give me just one reason why

Baby just give me one reason, give me just one reason why (I should stay)

Said I told you that I love you and there ain't no more to say

<<< Ending: Riff 1 >>>
