Oh, I?ve been looking for a girl   Who wanted something more than make-up and dresses   She wouldn?t care about hair styles, nail files   It just might take a while      But I?ve got all the time to wait   I?m not afraid of being alone for awhile   'Cause I don?t need no alibis, pretty lies   I have no need for compromise      I want you, believe me   I need you, deceive me   I?m fading, don?t leave me   I?m begging, don?t let me down   Don?t let me down, don?t let me down      Then I saw you in the street   And I just knew I had to make your acquaintance   Something like an old friend, start to end   I could feel my heart start to mend      Last night I dreamt that I had drowned   Beneath the water on the floor of the ocean   As I lay among the shells and sand   Your hand pulled me up to dry land      I want you, believe me   I need you, deceive me   I?m fading, don?t leave me   I?m begging, don?t let me down   Don?t let me down, don?t let me down   Don?t let me down      It?s almost funny when you?re all alone for too long   You start to feeling that there?s something that you?ve done wrong   When you find the one in all the worlds corrected   You never plan it out it?s when you least expect it   Now you?re protected, even respected      I want you, believe me   I need you, deceive me   I?m fading, don?t leave me   I?m begging, don?t let me down   Don?t let me down, don?t let me down   Don?t let me down
