Say, say, say what you want
But don't play games with my affection
Take, take, take what you need
But don't leave me with no direction
All alone I sit home by the phone
Waiting for you, baby
Through the years
How can you stand to hear
My pleading for you dear
You know I'm crying, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Yeah, yeah
Now go, go, go where you want
But don't leave me here forever
You, you, you stay away so long
Girl, I see you never
What can I do, girl
To get through to you
'Cause I love you, baby
Standing here baptized in all my tears
Baby through the years
You know I'm crying, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
All alone I sit home by the phone
Waiting for you, baby
Through the years
How can you stand to hear
My pleading for you dear
You know I'm crying, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
