Song Lyrics

Kinda lonely in New Orleans
Play the same old record
Makes me think of when we first met
So I wait 'til the phone rings
Said you'd call me by the morning
Why you hiding, darling?
What you been up to, I'm bored

I stay up all night, but I need love to keep me kind
I can't do this anymore, who's gon' catch me when I fall?
Why is there love if we born to die?
I need us, keep me high
I can't do this anymore, will you hold me when I'm gone?
Or when you're gone?

Oh when you're gone

I light another Newport cigarette
Take another sip, now you want my lips
Find another way, we gotta switch
I might even leave just to get you pissed
Where is my baby?
I've been waiting for you

I stay up all night, but I need love to keep me kind
I can't do this anymore, who's gon' catch me when I fall?
Why is there love if we born to die?
I need us, to keep me high
I can't do this anymore, will you hold me when I'm gone?
Or when you're gone

Tired of playing games
All I'm trying to say is all you boys are the same
The way I feel has changed
I don't know if I could be yours
I don't play a game
All you boys are the same
Everyone complains
Not anymore
(It's gotta be, gotta be more)
It's got to be more

I stay up all night, but I need love to keep me kind
I can't do this anymore, who's gon' catch me when I fall?
Why is there love if we born to die?
I need us, keep me high
I can't do this anymore, will you hold me when I'm gone?
Or when you're gone
