Billy calls me every night Says he wants to hold me tight Johnny calls me every day Says he'll never go away But it's you, yes, it's you Yes, it's you that I want to be near, here in my arms How I wish that you were here with me How I wish that you were here with me Every time that I say goodbye All I ever do is cry Every time you go away Everything in life is gray 'Cause it's you, yes, it's you Yes, it's you that I want to be near, here in my arms How I wish that you were here with me How I wish that you were here with me You don't know 'cause You've never felt the same way that I do Every time that I hold somebody I'll only think of you What can I do to make you love me, love me? I would rather be alone Maybe you'll decide to phone Every time you go away Everything in life is gray 'Cause it's you, yes, it's you Yes, it's you that I want to be near, here in my arms How I wish that you were here with me How I wish that you were here with me I wish you were here with me I don't want Billy, just you Here with me Why aren't you here with me?
