Quotes

  • I know what you told meI know that it's all overAnd I know I can't keep callingJust every time I runI keep on falling on you
  • And I wanna kiss you, make you feel alrightI'm just so tired to share my nightsI wanna cry and I wanna loveBut all my tears have been used upOn another love, another loveAll my tears have been used up
  • 'Cause it's not rightI'm magnetisedTo somebody that don't feel itLove paralyzedShe's never gonna need meBut sure as the world keeps the moon in the skyShe'll keep me hanging on
  • I never believed from the day that I met youA loser like me could ever get youWhen we go out I hear people saying "What's that beautiful girl doing with him?"
  • You should look at your reflectionIf you wanna see a lieYou're heading in the right directionIf you wanna pick a sideGive me more perfection if you wanna see me cryOh if you wanna love somebodyI'm your guy
  • I'd like to say that maybe we could work it outBut I know that it's no useIf I ever find anyone half as good as youI think maybe that will do
