[Intro] I need your arms around me I need to feel your touch I need your understanding I need your love so much [Verse 1] You tell me that you love me so You tell me that you care But when I need you (Baby) Baby, you're never there [Verse 2] On the phone long, long distance Always through such strong resistence And first you say you're too busy I wonder if you even miss me [Chorus] Never there You're never there You're never ever, ever, ever there Hey! [Verse 3] A golden bird that flies away A candle's fickle flame To think I held you yesterday Your love was just a game A golden bird that flies away A candle's fickle flame To think I held you yesterday Your love was just a game [Verse 1] You tell me that you love me so You tell me that you care But when I need you (Baby) Baby [Verse 4] Take the time to get to know me If you want why can't you just show me? We're always on this roller coaster If you want me why can't you get closer? [Chorus] Never there You're never there You're never ever, ever, ever there Never there You're never there You're never ever, ever, ever there Hey! [Outro] Oooh, hey! Yeah! Hey!
