[Verse 1 - Darnell:]
Misery
Such a fool
To let you walk away from me
Now it seems there's just nobody there for me
Girl, I'm in agony for you
Gone without a trace
Damn
I need your loving just to feel this space
I'm in so much pain without you
You left me here alone
Why don't you come back home to me?
Oh, everybody help me sing it
[Chorus w/Darnell adlibs]
This is the place where you belong
Right here in my arms
Without you
Something is wrong
[Verse 2 - Garfield:]
Waiting for your call
Can't help thinking
That this mess is all my fault
And just to have you back
I swear I'd risk it all
My every thought is of you
Girl, I'm on my knees
Begging for forgiveness and your sympathy
But most of all my love
I need your company
The only thing I need is you
I need you back, my friend
So I can live again
Come back home
Everybody help me sing
[Repeat Chorus with Garfield adlibs:]
[Breakdown]
You belong in my arms (5x)
[Repeat Chorus with Darnell adlibs]
