With a word you can make me come a runnin'
but in truth I cannot promise I'll be there
With a look you can make my world go spinnin'

tell me to drop everything just to see you

I can't be like on TV

Where the hero comes and saves the day
No, life never turns out that way
I don't see why it should be me

that has to go out of my way
to get you just to talk to me
It's not fair and you know it


You know


When it's me who needs a little something
to show I haven't been wasting my time
Anything, to bring me back to thinking

I shouldn't throw in the towel and head home

I can't be like on TV

Where everything is written down to end with smiles instead of frowns
I don't see why it should be me
that has to go out of my way

It's always give but never take
It's not fair and you know it


You know

With a word you can make me come a runnin'

Please say to drop everything and see you
