Oh, Ive been looking for a girl
Who wanted something more than make-up and dresses
She wouldnt care about hair styles, nail files
It just might take a whileBut Ive got all the time to wait
Im not afraid of being alone for awhile
'Cause I dont need no alibis, pretty lies
I have no need for compromiseI want you, believe me
I need you, deceive me
Im fading, dont leave me
Im begging, dont let me down
Dont let me down, dont let me downThen 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 mendLast 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 landI want you, believe me
I need you, deceive me
Im fading, dont leave me
Im begging, dont let me down
Dont let me down, dont let me down
Dont let me downIts almost funny when youre all alone for too long
You start to feeling that theres something that youve done wrong
When you find the one in all the worlds corrected
You never plan it out its when you least expect it
Now youre protected, even respectedI want you, believe me
I need you, deceive me
Im fading, dont leave me
Im begging, dont let me down
Dont let me down, dont let me down
Dont let me down
