So you better wake up
Pay attention to me
I need to talk
And you need to see
What i've been feeling
Got so much inside
You know you've been stealing
My peace of mind
You never take the time to listen
You never take the time to care
Hear me - i'm talking to you
Hear me - i wanna tell you the truth
Hear me, hear me - that's all i want
Hear me - i'm hurting inside
Hear me - you better treat me right
Hear me - you're gonna lose me if you don't
I'm like anyone else
I need more than love
Need to know you're a friend
Someone i can count on
Somebody to laugh with
Someone to cry
Somebody to live with - not die
You gotta take the time to listen
You gotta take the time to care
