I wanna get next to you I wanna make you mine (for all the time) I wanna get next to you I promise I'll never make you blue I wanna get next to you I wanna get next to you
Time on my hands since you've been away boy I ain't got no plans no, no, no, no. And the sound of the rain, against my windowpain. Is slowly, slowly driving me insane.
Boy, I'm going down I'm going down 'Cause you aint around, baby. My whole world's upside down
Sleep don't come easy. Boy, please believe me. Since you've been gone, everything's going wrong. Why'd you have to say goodbye? Look what you've done to me I can't stop these tears from falling from my eyes.
Oh Baby, I'm going down. I'm going down 'Cause you ain't around, baby. My whole world's upside down.
You ain't around. Going down. Ooh, Baby. I'm in love. Going down. Oh, Oh, Oh,
I-I- I'm going down. I'm going down. 'Cause you aint around, baby. My whole worlds upside down
Going down, going down Oh, babe. Don't want believe. If i cant give my love to you Im so blue. Going down. Going down You ain't around. Baby, baby. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. What did I do wrong? Please forgive me, baby, and come on home. Going down. Going down. Going down.
