Lyrics
Baby, I need you to call me
call me, desperately
Baby, I need you to want me
want me, desperately
the sun don't shine since you went away
lights on main street have all gone to gray
I need you bad like a crop needs a rain
You got nothing to lose and all to gain.
Baby, I need you to call me, Desperately
Baby, I need you to hold me
hold me, Desperately
Baby, I need you to love me
love me, desperately
You'll not like what I have to say.
You don't need me to show you the way.
Prince charming ain't my middle name.
Tonight's pleasure is tomorrow's pain.
Baby, I need you to redeem me
redeem me, desperately
Baby, I need you to save me
save me, desperately
so come on home and then we'll see
whether the spirits are shining on me
my love for you is the depth of your pain.
it hits me like the sound of a lonesome train.
Baby, I need you to call me, Desperately
