Litany I Said
I said, I said
I said, I said, I said
I said, I said, I said
I said, I said, I said
[Verse 1]
I said "Baby, come over"
You said "I'm not ready"
I said "You'll turn into a loner"
You said "That's okay with me"
I said, I said, I said
I said, I said, I said
[Chorus]
You don't need to try to pretend
For someone else
I just need to help you
Instead of helping myself
Why you gotta go act so tough baby, when I call?
And why you gotta leave me
When you need me most of all?
I said "Baby, I want ya"
You said "I know that you do"
I said "Will you come on over?
Is there no convincing you?"
I said, I said, I said
I said, I said, I said
[Chorus]
You don't need to try to pretend
For someone else
I just need to help you
Instead of helping myself
Why you gotta go act so tough baby, when I call?
And why you gotta leave me
When you need me most of all?
Don't you leave me, don't you leave me
And why you gotta leave me?
When you need me, when you need me most of all?
Why you gotta go act so tough baby, when I call?
And why you gotta leave me
When you need me most of all?
[Outro - Chorus]
You don't need to try to pretend
For someone else
I just need to help you
Instead of helping myself
Why you gotta go act so tough baby?
And why you gotta leave me
When you need me?
