Give me time to think
For I've been so weary all this time
Can't seem to get you off my mind
Tell me what is left for this man to do for you
Do for you, to make you stay

Baby don't leave me
Don't leave me waitin' out here in the cold
Wish you could see that
Oh your tricks are startin' to get old
Wish you could care more
But maybe that's too much for me to be askin' for
Just one more chance to be with you

Baby don't pick up the phone
If you're gonna tell me to pack up and go
Baby don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me alone
What's gonna happen to you
What's gonna happen to you when I'm gone
So baby don't pick up, don't pick up
And I'll hope that you won't be long
And I'll hope that you won't be long

Well I hope you know that I've been waitin' here all along
Waitin' on you to come around
I pick you up and you knock me down
You should know that I'm not that strong a man
Wonderin' why it has to be this way
Lie after lie my dreams are fadin'
They're fadin' away
Wishin' on some sort of chance
When I knew that we weren't
We weren't built, no we weren't built
We weren't built for romance

Baby don't pick up the phone
If you're gonna tell me to pack up and go
Baby don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me alone
What's gonna happen to you
What's gonna happen to you when I'm gone
So baby don't pick up, don't pick up
And I'll hope that you won't be long

Well this time
I'll do my best not to be such a fool
Thought fallin' for you could be so safe
Who knew it would bring me all of this pain
Well give me a reason
For what you've been doin' to me
I wanna be with you
So why can't you see?
Woah, woah, woah~

Baby don't pick up the phone
If you're gonna tell me to pack up and go
Baby don't leave me, don't leave me

What's gonna happen to you
What's gonna happen to you when I'm gone
So baby don't pick up, don't pick up
And I'll hope that you won't be long
I'll hope that you won't be long
See I'll be hopin' you won't be long
