Thinking of you (the same old way) Thinking of you (every day) Thinking of you is all I’m ever able to do You used to be in my mind, taking up all of my time It’s true, I couldn’t stop thinking about you But then you were gone and something felt wrong Cause I wasn’t thinking of you You know it’s true; how I feel about you So why can’t I just tell you how I feel Now that you’ve come back to me, I need to make it plain to see That you’re always on my mind; I’m thinking of you all the time When you’re not here I’m thinking of you It’s true, that’s all I ever do when you’re away You know it’s true; how I feel about you So why can’t I just tell you how I feel You used to be in my mind, taking up all of my time It’s true, I couldn’t stop thinking about you Oh, it’s true, I couldn’t stop thinking of you Oh, it’s true, I couldn’t stop thinking of you

Kirstin, oh my Kirstin; I don’t think you realize what we are versus what we could be Kirstin, lovely Kirstin; oh girl, don’t you know, I’m putting in effort to steer us somewhere If you’re not gonna try, then what’s the point in staying around Just to watch me cry or just to put me down Kirstin, beautiful Kirstin, can’t you see; you’re leading me to a world of misery I don’t know why I trusted you with my heart; what was the reason If you’re gonna tear it apart, it almost seems like treason I should’ve been more cautious with the love I had for you The love I thought was shared; with you feeling the same way that I do If you’re not gonna try, then what’s the point in staying around Just to watch me cry or just to put me down Kirstin (Oh Kirstin girl) Kirstin (Don’t you know I’m talking about you) Kirstin (Why’d you’d have to break my heart in two) Kirstin (Oh come on Kirstin) Kirstin (Why’re you leaving me alone) Kirstin

Oh, little girl, every day I work myself to the bone just in hopes I’ll see you at home Don’t you see some days I’m just dead on my feet, can’t you tell it’s true when we’re alone I’m working nine to five every single day and it makes me want to die But as long as I know you’ll be waiting here for me, I know there ain’t no reason to cry To complain is in vain, cause it won’t stop the rain from pouring down on me Oh girl, when I’ve had a really long day, you make me feel happy When I’m done my shift and my spirits need a lift, you’ll always be there to make me smile When I’ve been worked down to the bone and I just can’t go on, I know I’ll see you in a while When I get back home it’s true, I wanna spend my time with you You’re the only person who makes me feel this way, until i’m back to work the next day When the day’s been so long and I’m feeling down and out; I know I can rely on you Cause I know when I see your pretty little face girl; you’ll do that thing you do When I get back home it’s true, I wanna spend my time with you You’re the only person who makes me feel this way, until i’m back to work the next day When the day’s been so long and I’m feeling down and out; I know I can rely on you Cause I know when I see your pretty little face girl; you’ll do that thing you do To complain is in vain, cause it won’t stop the rain from pouring down on me Oh girl, when I’ve had a really long day, you make me feel happy You make me feel happy You make me feel happy

The way I feel for you, don't think I'm grounded in reality The way I feel for you, it's love and it's plain to see Things have been sparking up between us, dear, and I think you should know That I've got feelings for you baby and I'd never let you go I didn't think that I could feel for you this way before, And I didn't ever think that I'd tell you that I'm loving you more, more, more Things have been sparking up between us, dear, and I think you should know That I've got feelings for you baby and I'd never let you go Imagine me holding you tight as you drift asleep with me near Imagine me kissing you goodnight as I whisper "I love you" in your ear Things have been sparking up between us, dear, and I think you should know That I've got feelings for you baby and I'd never let you go

When I thought everything was happy as could be, love You made me see that you weren’t being true to me and it hurt I finally brought it up and got you to admit, girl But then you quit; you walked out of my door suddenly Well I’ve been missing you so much it’s true Without you near me, I don’t know what I’ll do Since you walked out on me, I’ve been feeling down without you around You left me here in misery yet I still don’t feel for you, bitterly You know the world seems a little colder now that I can’t hold you tight And it feels as though I’m feeling lower, all the time; it should be a crime I remember all those gifts that I gave you But they couldn’t save our love that was fading away to nothing Well I’ve been missing you so much it’s true Without you near me, I don’t know what I’ll do Since you walked out on me I’ve been feeling down, down to the ground But I know you’ll regret leaving me someday. Without you near me

Well it’s true, I’m losing faith in you You better decide what it is you’re gonna do I’m giving you chance to decide Cause I can’t hold back these tears in my eyes If you’re gonna leave, you better start walking now I know that you’ve been talking to him everyday If that’s the way you’re acting then I can’t let you stay I’m giving you a chance To save our dying romance But if you’re gonna leave, you better start walking now Oh, what happened to the love that we once shared A love that was so strong and never had to be repaired Oh, what happened to the love that we once shared A love that was so strong and never had to be repaired Well it’s true, I’m losing faith in you You better decide what it is you’re gonna do I’m giving you a chance To save our dying romance If you’re gonna leave, you better start walking If you’re gonna leave, you better start walking If you’re gonna leave, you better start walking now

I know that you aren’t trying to ignore me But sometimes I just need your love and company Cause when I start to frown and look oh so down It’s cause I just need your love Recently it seems that things are lacking between us So that’s why I’m standing here making all this fuss I think we need to talk things through Cause I haven’t heard a word from you And I just need, need your love What’s made you busy suddenly What’s been taking up your time Why can’t you find the time for me You keep blowing me off and I can’t take it anymore Every time we try to talk the plans fall to the floor What’s made you busy suddenly What’s been taking up your time Why can’t you find the time for me You keep blowing me off and I can’t take it anymore Every time we try to talk the plans fall to the floor I know that you aren’t trying to ignore me But sometimes I just need your love and company Cause when I start to frown and look oh so down It’s cause I just need your love Need your love Need your love Need your love

You always like to play games with my heart And you know that it starts to kill me when we’re apart Is it oh so bad to want When all you do is taunt I just want to hold you by my side You know that I’m in love with you, it’s true Cause every time you talk to him, it makes me blue Is it really too much to ask To complete such a simple task Cause I just want to hold you by my side Oh, you said you needed someone, who could hold you tight (hold you tight) But when I say it’s me you want, you don’t think that I’m right Oh, you said you needed someone, who could hold you tight (hold you tight) But when I say it’s me you want, you don’t think that I’m right You know you shouldn’t play these games with me Cause you made one wrong move and baby can’t you see That I can’t get you out of my mind No matter how hard I’ve tried Cause I just want to hold you by I just want to hold you by Cause all I want to do is hold you by my side

I can’t believe I let you have my heart If you were just going to tear it apart What a foolish thing for me to do I can’t believe I’d trusted you with my heart Cause you‘d just break it in two I can’t believe I let you into my life I should’ve known you’d cause me all this strife To never notice you were cruel and mean How blind must I have been With my heart, you would just break it in two I let you run your circles ‘round me While I thought things were as fine as could be All those days and hours I spent with you All for you to break my heart in two I let you run your circles ‘round me While I thought things were as fine as could be All that time I wasted with you All for you to break my heart in two I can’t believe I let you have my heart If you were just going to tear it apart What a foolish thing for me to do I can’t believe I’d trusted you with my heart Should've known that you’d just Break it in two Break it in two Break it in two Break it in two

Well I saw you at the party, sitting all by yourself, baby One of my friends leaned on over to me and said "you gonna ask her out"; I said "maybe" I sat there thinking to myself; she's so sweet I think, I think; no, I know it's true As I walked towards you, I saw a look in your eyes A look I hadn't seen in years girl and it took me by surprise I sat there thinking to myself; she's so sweet I think, I think; no, I know it's true As I walked towards you, I saw a look in your eyes A look I hadn't seen in years girl and it took me by surprise I sat there thinking to myself; she's so sweet I think, I think; no, I know it's true Oh I said 1, 2, 3, 4; don't you know I love you more than he does And I always will If you come on with me, I'll make you feel happy. Don't you hear everybody talking about how she's so sweet Don't you know everybody's talking about how she's so sweet I think, I think; no, I know it's true I think, I think; no, I know it's true I think, I think; no, I know it's true
