Every night it's the same I hear you callin' my name You're lyin' next to me I give into your charms You disappear in my arms I realize it's just a dream, but [Chorus] Desperately, I long to feel your touch But you left me all alone in love And now I Shake the sleep from my head And try to crawl out of bed Today is just another day I make the coffee for one I turn the radio on Pretend that everything's ok, but [Chorus] And now I Know there's no reason to smile It's gonna take me awhile 'Cause I still love you desperately [Chorus] And now I Watch the sun goin' down There ain't nobody around I feel a night in the breeze I keep on tellin' myself I don't need nobody else And I can do as I please, but [Chorus] And now I [Chorus] And now Every night it's the same I hear you callin' my name I still love you desperately I still love you I still want you I still love you desperately
