Billy calls me every night
Says he wants to hold me tight
Johnny calls me every day
Says he'll never go away

But it's you, yes, it's you
Yes, it's you that I want to be near, here in my arms
How I wish that you were here with me
How I wish that you were here with me

Every time that I say goodbye
All I ever do is cry
Every time you go away
Everything in life is gray

'Cause it's you, yes, it's you
Yes, it's you that I want to be near, here in my arms
How I wish that you were here with me
How I wish that you were here with me

You don't know 'cause
You've never felt the same way that I do
Every time that I hold somebody I'll only think of you
What can I do to make you love me, love me?

I would rather be alone
Maybe you'll decide to phone
Every time you go away
Everything in life is gray

'Cause it's you, yes, it's you
Yes, it's you that I want to be near, here in my arms
How I wish that you were here with me
How I wish that you were here with me

I wish you were here with me
I don't want Billy, just you
Here with me
Why aren't you here with me?
