Look around your world pretty baby Is it everything you hoped it'd be The wrong guy, the wrong situation The right time to roll to me Roll to me Look into your heart pretty baby Is it aching with some nameless need? Is there something wrong And you can't put your finger on it? Right, then roll to me And I don't think I have ever seen A soul so in despair So if you want to talk the night through Guess who will be there? So don't try to deny it pretty baby You've been down so long you can hardly see When the engine's stalled and it won't stop raining It's the right time to roll to me Roll to me Roll to me And I don't think I have ever seen A soul so in despair So if you want to talk the night through Guess who will be there? So, Look around your world pretty baby Is it everything you hoped it'd be The wrong guy, the wrong situation The right time to roll to me The right time to roll to me The right time to roll to me...oooh
