Yeah, I got a reputation Never had a single thought of settling down As the train would left the station Never shed a single tear just, said my good-bye But you touched me deep inside Now I can't believe I'm the one who's looking back As you said good-bye to me Whenever you're near, I'm in ecstasy Whenever you're gone, I'm in misery Don't you know that you bring out the best in me Whenever you're near? Yeah, I cause my share of sorrow I walked off on promises and love's pa**ed me by But now you've turned the tables See you make me feel as though it's my turn to die There's a little girl inside Who's lost on her way Only you can bring me back I know you know the words to say Whenever you're near, I'm in ecstasy Whenever you're gone, I'm in misery Don't you know that you bring out the best in me Whenever you're near? I feel your chemistry, boy watcha do to me I lose all control And when the morning comes, yeah you loved and gone Don'tcha know I need it over and over and over and over again Yeah you touched me deep inside Now I can't say no Dragged my heart around I'm never gonna let you go Whenever you're near, I'm in ecstasy Whenever you're gone, I'm in misery Boy you don't understand whatcha do to me Whenever you're near, I'm in ecstasy Whenever you're gone, I'm in misery Don't you know that you bring out the best in me Whenever you're near?
