[Verse 1]
It's funny, feel you pokin' at my heart
You said that what I say, it makes you laugh
How 'bout you come 'round and pick me up?
We'll joke around and talk 'bout real stuff
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't sell yourself short, uh
There's something about you
Can't explain, but I can't live without you
[Chorus]
Now I want you, I'm sick of bein' alone
Lyin' 'round here, and you're all that I want
The others, they don't have the same effect
Don't wanna be someone who you forget
[Verse 2]
You sent a letter
And I read every word
Nothing feels better
I melted when you called
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't sell yourself short, uh
There's something about you
Can't explain, but I can't live without you
[Chorus]
Now I want you, I'm sick of bein' alone
Lyin' 'round here, and you're all that I want
The others, they don't have the same effect
Don't wanna be someone who you forget
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
Now I want you, I'm sick of bein' alone
Lyin' 'round here, and you're all that I want
The others, they don't have the same effect
Don't wanna be someone who you forget
[Outro]

I’ve struggled with this one dude, being completely in love with him since I was 17 in a long-distance, on-and-off relationship. I broke up with him midway through last year. I was frustrated with myself...
