Lately I've been tryin'
To have a word or two
Waitin' for a moment
To get to you

As I've been restrainin'
What I need to say
Silence gets misunderstood
Some way

Now it's time to sit right down
And make my point of view
Otherwise, oh love of mine
I'll fall away from you

Woman, I'm a singer
That's all I'll ever be
Give n' take n' 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 cryin'
Baby I'm cryin'
And it feels like I'm dyin'
'Cos I can't get next to you

I'm cryin'
Baby I'm cryin'
And it feels like I'm dyin'
'Cos I can't get next to you

Darlin' come on and hold me
I need a one and only
Baby hear me when I say

I'm cryin'
Baby I'm cryin'
Feels like I'm dyin'
'Cos I can't get next to you

I'm cryin'
Baby I'm cryin'
Feels like I'm dyin'
'Cos I can't get next to you
