I can't take it

I'm so lonely

Gee I need you so

I can't take it

Oh I wonder

Why you had to go

But Baby, Every night I wake up crying

Tears on my pillow

An pain in my heart

You on my mind

I remember all the good times

That we had before

Oh I remember and now my heart

My very soul cries out for more

But baby, all your love for me is dying

Tears on my pillow

Pain in my heart

You on my mind

(spoken)

I'll always remember that day

You promised to love me

You said you'd love me to the very end

And I'll never forget

I'll never forget when you walked away from me

You walked out of my life to my very best friend

Ooooohhhhhh

Oh baby, every night I wake up crying

Tears on my pillow

Pain in my heart

You on my mind

Yeah

Tears on my pillow

Pain in my heart

You on my mind

I got tears on my pillow

Pain in my heart

You on my mind

(fade)

I got tears on my pillow

Pain in my heart

An you on my mind.
