You came 'round today
You never even knocked on my door
Your note tried to say
That you don't love me no more
I want you by my side 'cause
I wanna be your man
I'm burning up inside 'cause
I wanna be your man
I had to be told
From people that I meet in the street
They are turning cold
Without you I would not be complete
I want you by my side 'cause
I wanna be your man
I'm burning up inside 'cause
I wanna be your man
Why did you write me in a letter?
A word from you would be much better
I want you by my side 'cause
I wanna be your man
I'm burning up inside 'cause
I wanna be your man
Don't cast me aside
Without you I could never survive
Why did you decide
To kill the love that keeps me alive
I want you by my side 'cause
I wanna be your man
I'm burning up inside 'cause
I wanna be your man
