Well, it might be insecurity
Shootin' up my spine
I'm sitting on a fence
Cos it's my best defense
Well, it might be a "man and woman" thing
That keeps me sitting here
Screening every call
'Till evening starts to fall
I'd like to spend some time
With you sometime
If you're in the state-of-mind.
What did you do to make me need to hear from you?
Call me and I'll revive that shine
To your tired eyes.
Just keep me on your mind
Forever, Valentine.
Well, you got me in your crosshairs
Bull's eye; you hit your target
For better or for worse
The longing starts to hurt
And I love you -- and I want you
Do you need me like I want you?
Twenty odd years of talking to myself
Finally someone answers back
Twenty odd years of looking in the mirror baby
Finally someone's looking back
Twenty odd years of idle conversations
That never make a sound
I'm ready to raise my spirit high
But be there, baby, when I come back down
When I come back down
When I come back down
I'd like to spend some time
With you sometime
If you're in the state-of-mind
What did you do to make me need hear from you?
Call me and I'll revive that shine
To your tired eyes
Just keep me on your mind
Forever, Valentine
And I love you -- and I want you
Do you need me like I want you?
