Lately I've been trying to have a word or two Waiting for a moment to get to you As I've been restraining what I need to say Silence gets misunderstood some way And now it's time to sit right down and make my point of view Otherwise, love of mine, I'll fall away from you Woman, I'm a singer, that's all that I'll ever be Give and take, and don't complicate, the simple harmonies There's nothing I need from you that you should keep from me Nothing that you hold sets you free And all I have these simple words that I will give to you He's the fool who won't reach out and tries to play it cool I'm crying, baby, I'm crying And it feels like I'm dying 'Cause I can't get next to you I'm crying, baby, I'm crying And it feels like I'm dying 'Cause I can't get next to you Darling, come on and hold me I need a one and only Baby, hear me when I say, baby I'm crying, baby, I'm crying And it feels like I'm dying 'Cause I can't get next to you I'm crying, baby, I'm crying And it feels like I'm dying 'Cause I can't get next to you
