Open up and let me in
Can't you see about the shape I'm in
I need your loving, it must be soon
I know you really can be so cruel, ow
I could be wrong and I could be right
You're gonna keep me waiting all the night
I'm breaking up now. Can't you tell?
I've been awake since I don`t know when
I may be right and I may be wrong
You're gonna leave me waiting all night long
That's not the way it ought to be
Come on, baby, won't you see by me
I have waited, what's it gonna be?
In your world then, who's replacing me?
Can't you see just where you're placing me?
Open up and let me in
Do something about the shape I'm in
I need your loving and it must be soon
I know you really can be so cruel
