Lyrics

VERSE:
Always been told I?m a good listener
Guess I never had much to say
Quick to console but silent about myself
Figured I would have my day

Always the friend, never the lover
And our friendship it has grown
Say you want company and I?m there for you
Wouldn?t want you to feel alone

I can see the warning signs
And I can read between the lines
I can tell that it?s all just a matter of time

CHORUS:
Baby, call me up and I will tide you over
Till your next great romance
Doesn?t matter if we last a day or forever
I just don?t want to miss my chance
Baby, call me up and I will tide you over
Till a better man comes along
And maybe you will see that better man is me
Tell me would that be so wrong?

VERSE:
Say that you?re broken without him
Put you together that?s what I do
Cry on my shoulder cause it?s not going your way
But when is it my way when I?m with you?

I can see the warning signs
And I can read between the lines
I can tell that it?s all just a matter of time

CHORUS:
Baby, call me up and I will tide you over?

BRIDGE:
Never said I knew all the answers
But I think this time I may be right
Listen again look at me with a fresh pair of eyes
The answer might be right in sight

VERSE:
?Thank you,? you whisper as you say goodnight
You?re welcome to more than I let you know
You hope to find someone right for you
Would it be right not to let you go?

CHORUS:
Baby, call me up and I will tide you over?
