Never There
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I need your arms around me
I need to feel your touch
I need your understanding
I need your love so much
You tell me that you love me so
You tell me that you care
But when I need you (baby)
Baby, you're never there
On the phone long, long distance
Always through such strong resistance
And first you say you're too busy
I wonder if you even miss me
Never there
You're never there
You're never ever ever there
Hey!
A golden bird that flies away
A candle's fickle flame
To think I held you yesterday
Your love was just a game
(x2)
You tell me that you love me so
You tell me that you care
But when I need you (baby)
Take the time to get to know me
If you want me why can't you just show me
We're always on this roller coaster
If you want me why can't you get closer
Never there
You're never there
You're never ever, ever, ever, there
(2X)
HEY!
