lyrics

(Spoken)
This is a song about not wanting to sleep alone

(Sung)
I don’t think that I can face this alone
And I don’t think that I can face this sober
And I’m not talking ’bout drugs, I’m not talking ’bout love
I just wanna hold you, mm

Cause I’ve been fooled before
And I don’t want to dwell anymore
I’m not asking for much, just need a tender touch
And someone to sleep beside when it’s over, mm
Cause when I’m left by myself
I get to thinking, and the thinking’s so dangerous so

I don’t wanna be low
And I don’t wanna be alone anymore
So send me flying, get me high off your body, baby
I want your body, baby, yeah

Ooh, woah, hey

And I don’t care about the aftermath
Enjoy the ride and don’t you worry about that
A little headache in the morning, yeah it’s worth it for the story
And it’s sure better than looking back, mm
Cause when I’m left by myself
Ooh I get to thinking, and the thinking’s so dangerous so

I don’t wanna be low
And I don’t wanna be alone anymore
So send me flying, get me high off your body, baby
I want your body, baby

Put your lips to mine, bring your hips in tight
And sometimes we fit side by side, and sometimes the puzzle grows
And I swear that I don’t mind not having you every night
But sometimes I need to feel high, cause I get so low

And I don’t wanna be low, no
I don’t wanna be alone anymore
So send me flying, get me high off your body, baby
I want your body, baby, yeah
And I don’t wanna be low, no
I don’t wanna be alone anymore
So send me flying, get me high off your body, baby
I want your body, baby
