    LYRICS (official)
    I wanted to tell her, but I stuck to my lies
    I wanted to tell her, 'til I looked in her eyes
    I wanted to tell her, but I stuck to my lies
    I wanted to tell her, 'til I looked in her eyes
    I wanted to tell her
    I needed to tell her
    
    Just like the wind, you blew away your happy lover's touch
    You bring the blues into my heart just like a rush
    I cannot bear the way my heart has helped to keep you close
    Of you my babe I cannot get enough
    You touch me baby
    
    I loved you to the lines of lies you told when I asked her name
    I knew the perfume in your hair just wasn't mine
    Did you ever think to notice me when you wasn't home?
    I noticed every time
    Thought you noticed every time but you didn't notice a thing
    
    I'd have to cover up my calls when the telephone would ring
    I'm tired of you and the things you do and all the things you say
    No more babysitting for neurotic girls today
    I'm thinking that the pain I'm going through just to keep you babe
    Is something that I should bear
    Did you ever stop to notice me when you had nothing?
    And I never cared?
    
    Just like the wind, you blew away your happy lover's touch
    You bring the blues into my heart just like a rush
    I cannot bear the way my heart has helped to keep you close
    Of you my babe I cannot get enough
    You touch me baby, don't be mean to me!
