Can't you understand it?

Girl, you know how much I care.

As the night moves in

Love takes on new meaning

If you were here

You would know what I mean to say

The circumstance leaves me

Only waiting for the chance

I only want to love you more, more.

Can't you understand it?

Girl, you know how much I care

It's not the way I planned it

If you could only know my feelings

You would know how much I do believe

If you were here tonight by my side

If you were with me now.

When the lights go out, I cannot pretend

This bed's too big oh for me

To be in alone, oh all alone.

Can't you understand it?

Girl, you know how much I care

It's not the way I planned it

No no no no no no...

If you could only know my feelings

You would know how much I do believe

If you were here tonight, oh night

By my side if you were with me now.

Every night alone I just wait here anticipating

For the day I won't feel this pain, baby

Please don't keep me waiting

Come to me, if you were here tonight

Ooh girl, be by my side

If you were with me now

This bed's too big oh for me

To be in alone, oh all alone.
