Lately I've been trying to have a word or two
Waiting for a moment to get to you
As I've been restraining what I need to say
Silence gets misunderstood some way
And now it's time to sit right down and make my point of view
Otherwise, love of mine, I'll fall away from you

Woman, I'm a singer, that's all that I'll ever be
Give and take, and 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 crying, baby, I'm crying
And it feels like I'm dying
'Cause I can't get next to you
I'm crying, baby, I'm crying
And it feels like I'm dying
'Cause I can't get next to you

Darling, come on and hold me
I need a one and only
Baby, hear me when I say, baby

I'm crying, baby, I'm crying
And it feels like I'm dying
'Cause I can't get next to you
I'm crying, baby, I'm crying
And it feels like I'm dying
'Cause I can't get next to you
