5:52 am
I'm awake
and thinkin 'bout my life
5:53
I can see
I won't sleep a wink tonight
6 am
Where's my pen?
I might as well get up
and write a song
And try to work out
Why when everything seems right
Why do I feel so wrong?
Something missing
in my life
Could it be you
Could it be you and me?
Something's missing
in my life
Oh come and be
Right where I need you to be
For all my life
All my life
Got my house
Got my fancy car
Everything's going
like I planned so far
But something's not there
That should be there
I gotta find it somewhere
Since the day you left my side
I've torn myself apart
And I still can't decide
Is it you I need
or did you really
hurt my pride?
Something's missing
in my life
Baby it's you
Maybe it's you and me
If you're what's missing
in my life
Then baby come to me
Come feel the need in me
For all my life
Something's missing
in my life
Could it be you
Could it be you and me?
Something's missing
in my life
Oh come and be
Right where I need you to be
You're what's missing
in my life
Oh come and be
Right where I need you to be
Oh
Oh
