as you stand next to me

[Intro]
The number you have dialed is not available at present
Please leave your message after the beep

[Verse 1]
Callin' me, lover
How could I be loved by you, darlin'?
Watchin' me suffer
Baby, I'm fallin'
And I've seen darkness dance, marchin'
I've seen demons stand beside my soul, starvin' for me
I'm starvin' for love, darlin', it's true
Regardless of the things you've done, I still want

[Chorus]
Be my love, be my one, be my everything
Be my drug, hold me close, show me everything
And I won't run, I won't go, darlin', no, I won't
Feel my heartbeat as you stand next to me
My love
My love
My love

[Verse 2]
Anybody that really got me said, "Boy, don't take that road"
Mama don't make soul food no more ever since my daddy been up and gone
I've been robbing hearts, it's the only damn thing I know
To make it easy when I leave them, before I lose all control
Please save me, darlin', before you hate me, darlin'
Before you make me heartless
I don't wanna make you part of this pain
Yes, I harbored, yes, I hold it inside my soul
I don't wanna leave, you don't wanna cry, I don't wanna hide no more

[Chorus]
Be my love, be my one, be my everything
Be my drug, hold me close, show me everything
And I won't run, I won't go, darlin', no, I won’t
Feel my heartbeat as you stand next to me
My love
My love
Feel my heartbeat as you stand next to me
My love
Feel my heartbeat as you stand next to me
