STILL EDITING
[Intro]
Oh, hello
Gee, I'm glad I ran into you today
Now while you're alone, which is not that often
I want you to take a minute and listen to what I have to say
Remember the quarrel we had and I told you to get out and find someone else
Which you did
And when I saw you both together, I would smile and give you a convincing hello
And remember once you told me that I had no feelings at all
Well, please baby
Please listen to what I have to say
[Verse]
So you think
My heart's made of stone
I know you do, baby
And when you'rе near me, therе's no reaction
Well, you're wrong
Lord knows you're wrong
Ohhh
From the tip of my toes
My love for you steadily grows
On and on
Ohhh, ohhh, baby
And each day you're not here
Lord, I'm soaking wet with my tears
But not on the outside, but
Inside strong
I love you baby, I love you baby
Ohhh
Without you I can't go on
I need you, I need you, so badly
To keep this cold heart warm
So when you smile at me
And I don't speak
It's not that I don't care
But that I'm so weak
'Cause from my head to my toes
My love for you steadily grows
Not on the outside
But inside strong
I love you, I love you
I love you, girl
Without you I can't go on
I need you, I need you so badly
To keep this cold heart warm
So you think
My heart's made of stone
And when you're near me
There's no reaction
Well, you're wrong
'Cause from my head to my toes
My love for you steadily grows
Not on the outside
Not on the outside
Not on the outside
Ohhh, but inside strong
I want you, I need you, my baby
Not on the outside
Not on the outside
Not on the outside
Ohhh, but inside strong
I want you, I need you, my baby
Not on the outside
Not on the outside
Not on the outside
Ohhh, but inside strong
I want you, I need you, my baby
Not on the outside
Not on the outside
Not on the outside
Ohhh, but inside strong
