I call you up

You pick up

You call my bluff

On the card to love

You hold too close

Your hands to your chest

I can read your eyes

But I confess

It's lonely far from you, oh



Even when you're right by me

It's only why I wait for you

To take my hand



Why do I beg like a child for your candy?

Why do I come after you like I do, I love you?

Wherever you are

I swear

You be my angel

You



I play my cards the best I can

But I lose my luck when you're not here

My darling heart

Won't you please give in?

I may be strong

But I want you back again



When you're not here it's hard to pretend

It's all alright again

When you're not here love it's hard to pretend

It's all alright but still

Why do I beg like a child for your candy?

Why do I run after you like I do, I love you?

Whatever you are

I swear

You be my angel, you



Watch the deck

Count your cards

Makes no sense

That I'm always losing

When you're gone



Why do I beg like a child for your candy?

Why do I come after you like I do, I love you

Whatever you are

I swear

You'll be my angel, you

When you're gone
