Oh, Darling,
Don’t be scared
Of these lonely arms
Or these ugly scars
I bear.
Oh, Darling,
Don’t you know
I’m still haunted
By a ghost?
And my heart says “go,”
But my mind tells me “no.”
Chorus:
So I’ll be waiting by the telephone
Debating whether or not I’m better on my own,
And no one can say why.
So take my hand but don’t you take my heart,
‘Cause after all, this is my new start;
And you can’t know the reasons why.
Well, even I don’t know why.
Oh, Darling,
You’re amazing-
Just one look at your face
And I can already taste
Your medicine.
Oh, Darling,
Oh, the way you kiss
I’d be a fool
To resist this.
But my heart says “go,”
While my mind tells me “no.”
Chorus:
So I’ll be waiting by the telephone
Debating whether or not I’m better on my own,
And no one can say why.
So take my hand but don’t you take my heart,
‘Cause after all, this is my new start;
And you can’t know the reasons why.
Well, even I don’t know why.
This should be simple
But it’s not-
I’m complicating
Every thought.
And I know, lonely hearts were made to die.
So won’t you show me
How this goes,
‘Cause I don’t wanna
End up alone
Without a reason why.
Chorus:
So I’ll be waiting by the telephone
With an open mind and a weightless soul,
And no one needs to know why.
So take my hand and take my whole heart too,
‘Cause after all, I love you!
And I don’t need a reason why.
No, I don’t need a reason why.
