[Verse 1]

Kinda lonely in New Orleans

Play the same old record

Makes me think of when we first met

So I wait 'til the phone rings

Said you'd call me by the morning

Why you hiding, darling?

What you been up to, I'm bored

[Chorus]

I stay up all night, but I need love to keep me kind

I can't do this anymore, who's gon' catch me when I fall?

Why is love if we born to die?

I need us, keep me high

I can't do this anymore, will you hold me when I'm gone?

Or when you're gone?

[Post-Chorus]

Oh when you're gone

[Verse 2]

I light another Newport cigarette

Take another sip, now you want my lips

Find another way, we gotta switch

I might even leave just to get you pissed

Where is my baby?

I've been waiting for you

[Chorus]

I stay up all night, but I need love to keep me kind

I can't do this anymore, who's gon' catch me when I fall??

Why is love if we born to die?

I need us, to keep me high

I can't do this anymore, will you hold me when I'm gone?

Or when you're gone

[Bridge]

Tired of playing games

All I'm trying to say is all you boys are the same

The way I feel has changed

I don't know if I could be yours

I don't play a game

All you boys are the same

Everyone complains

Not anymore

(It's gotta be, gotta be more)

It's got to be more

[Chorus]

I stay up all night, but I need love to keep me kind

I can't do this anymore, who's gon' catch me when I fall?

Why is love if we born to die?

I need us, keep me high

I can't do this anymore, will you hold me when I'm gone?

Or when you're gone
