Wanna tell you something that’s real
Wanna be there when you open up your eyes
Tell me baby was it something you could feel
Tell me baby did it catch you by surprise
Standing on the street where you live
Staring at a window all night
Waiting ‘till he tells you where he’s been
Waiting ‘till you’re tired of the fight
And when it all was over
Did you sit down on the bed
And cry into your pillow
Over every word he said
That’s not the way that it would be
With someone like
Driving through the city at night
Listening to the song that he wrote
Singing along out of spite
Listening to the lies that he told
thinking ‘bout the night you first met
Remem’bring how he gave you a rose
now thinking how the night is so long
Wondering just how far this road goes
And maybe you’d be happy tomorrow
If you packed your bags tonight
But you’re gonna end up back where you started
He’ll say he loves you and he’ll turn out the light
You wouldn’t have to make believe
With someone like me
You can be the person you want to
If you live your life alone
But is it worth having freedom
If you’re the only one who’s coming home
You can be who you wanna be
With someone like me
And maybe you’d be happy tomorrow
If you packed your bags tonight
But you’re gonna end up back where you started
He’ll say he loves you and he’ll turn out the light
You wouldn’t have to make believe
With someone like me
