[Verse 1] Notice me Take my hand Why are we Strangers when Our love is strong? Why carry on without me? [Chorus] And every time I try to fly, I fall Without my wings, I feel so small I guess I need you, baby And every time I see you in my dreams I see your face, it's haunting me I guess I need you, baby [Verse 2] I make believe That you are here It's the only way I see clear What have I done? You seem to move uneasy [Chorus] And every time I try to fly, I fall Without my wings, I feel so small I guess I need you, baby And every time I see you in my dreams I see your face, you're haunting me I guess I need you, baby [Bridge] I may have made it rain Please, forgive me My weakness caused you pain And this song's my sorry At night, I pray That soon your face will fade away [Chorus] And every time I try to fly, I fall Without my wings, I feel so small I guess I need you, baby And every time I see you in my dreams I see your face, you're haunting me I guess I need you, baby
