Listen honey

Let me see your smile

Don't be look at me funny

You got a better style

See me coming

Don't look the other way

Don't start running

You stole my heart away

Don't give me that run arround

You know I treat you fine

You don't understand the way I feel

You got my heart running like a wheel

I'm in the black, I'm in the black

I'm in the black again

Can't go back, Can't go back

Can't be who I was back then

It's only me, it's only me

It's only me outside your door

Let me be, let me be

I'm the one you're waiting for

Hear me talking

You hear what I say

I say you walking

Every time it makes my day

I got a notion

I might stay a while

If you fall in the ocean

I'll swim a hundred miles

Coming over to ask you out

Ah honey please say yes

I don't like it when you stomp and pout

I don't like it when you run your mouth

I'm in the black, I'm in the black

I'm in the black again

Can't go back, Can't go back

Can't be who I was back then

It's only me, it's only me

It's only me outside your door

Let me be, let me be

I'm the one you're waiting for

You're a vision

Make me shout out loud

I made my decision

Good bye to the old crowd

Send you a message

I've gotta chance my arm

Scramble through the wreckage

To keep you save from harm

I'm going to be right arround your house

I hope you're good to go

If you're not it's going to hit me hard

I'm going to fold up like a house of cards

I'm in the black, I'm in the black

I'm in the black again

Can't go back, Can't go back

Can't be who I was back then

It's only me, it's only me

It's only me outside your door

Let me be, let me be

I'm the one you're waiting for
