Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
When I call you up, your line's engaged I have had enough, so act your age We have lost the time that was so hard to find And I will lose my mind If you won't see me, you won't see me I don't know why you should want to hide But I can't get through, my hands are tied I won't want to stay, I don't have much to say But I get turned away And you won't see me, you won't see me Time after time you refuse to even listen I wouldn't mind if I knew what I was missing Though the days are few they're filled with tears And since I lost you, it feels like years Yes, it seems so long, girl, since you've been gone And I just can't go on If you won't see me, you won't see me Time after time you refuse to even listen I wouldn't mind if I knew what I was missing Though the days are few they're filled with tears And since I lost you, it feels like years Yes, it seems so long, girl, since you've been gone I just can't go on If you won't see me, you won't see me
