Can't you understand it? Girl, you know how much I care As the night moves in Love takes on a 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 for me To be in alone, 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
