If you really think I’m fine
Then why don’t you just take the time
And call me
Baby, hurry, come see me

Friends all say you speak my name
Well, let me say
I feel the same about you
Can’t do without you
How about you?

Hey! Baby, what’s wrong?
You look so surprised
I can tell by the look in your eyes
That you need me
And I need you too

Hey, baby what’s wrong
You know you need me
And I need you too
How about you?

I know all the words
That I wanna say
But if I do will you walk away
And leave me here
By myself with my tears

Baby I still have my pride
Eventhough it’s not enough to hide
My love for you
Baby, I love you
How about you?

Baby, how about you
Do you need me too
Baby, how about you
Do you need me too
Baby, how about you
