Oh, I’ve been looking for a girl
Who wanted something more than make-up and dresses
She wouldn’t care about hair styles, nail files
It just might take a while

But I’ve got all the time to wait
I’m not afraid of being alone for awhile
'Cause I don’t need no alibis, pretty lies
I have no need for compromise

I want you, believe me
I need you, deceive me
I’m fading, don’t leave me
I’m begging, don’t let me down
Don’t let me down, don’t let me down

Then I saw you in the street
And I just knew I had to make your acquaintance
Something like an old friend, start to end
I could feel my heart start to mend

Last night I dreamt that I had drowned
Beneath the water on the floor of the ocean
As I lay among the shells and sand
Your hand pulled me up to dry land

I want you, believe me
I need you, deceive me
I’m fading, don’t leave me
I’m begging, don’t let me down
Don’t let me down, don’t let me down
Don’t let me down

It’s almost funny when you’re all alone for too long
You start to feeling that there’s something that you’ve done wrong
When you find the one in all the worlds corrected
You never plan it out it’s when you least expect it
Now you’re protected, even respected

I want you, believe me
I need you, deceive me
I’m fading, don’t leave me
I’m begging, don’t let me down
Don’t let me down, don’t let me down
Don’t let me down
