(Wilkin/Westberry) Well you call me your baby When you hold in my hand But the way that you hurt me I just don't understand Well you say that you need me Like an ocean needs sand But the way you deceive me I just don't understand Well you know that I love you More than anyone can But a one-sided love I just don't understand Well you know that I love you More than anyone can But a one-sided love I just don't understand Well you call me your baby When you hold in my hand Oh how you can hurt me I just don't understand.
