[Intro]

Huh!

That's right

[Verse 1]

You never say what's on your mind

Just tell me, honey, lay it out on the line

Anytime, night or day

Just call me up and I'll be on my way

[Pre-Chorus]

The clock strikes midnight

I don't know where you are

The clock strikes, it's alright

Just tell me, honey, don't push me too far

[Chorus]

Desperately, I've gotta know

If you want me, just let me know

Desperately, give me an answer

Can't you see I'm here for you?

Oh, please, don't run away

Don't run away, ooh

[Verse 2]

You know, it's things like this

I've been misunderstood, oh

And by the strange looks, babe

You don't believe in me like you should

[Pre-Chorus]

The clock strikes midnight

I don't know where you are

The clock strikes, it's alright

Just tell me, honey, don't push me too far

[Chorus]

Desperately, I've gotta know

If you want me, just let me know

Desperately, give me an answer

Can't you see I'm here for you?

No!

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Desperately, I've gotta know

If you want me, just let me know

Desperately, give me an answer

Can't you see I'm here for you?

Desperately, I've gotta know

If you want me, just let me know

Desperately, give me an answer

Can't you see I'm here for you?

[Outro]

Desperately, don't run away

Desperately, don't run away from me, girl

No-no, no-no, no-no

I need you so

No-no, no-no, ooh-oh
