Sometimes you’re so far, I need glasses to see you But I love you as you are and I need to need you I’ve been waiting a while and it’s started to rain And I can see a payphone, but I spent all my change I’ve been waiting a while, but the ride hasn’t come And I pray that my heart can turn deaf and dumb You’ll never say sorry, but you’ll give me the blame And say it’s my fault for waiting in the rain Why do you do these things to me you do? What have I ever done wrong to you? Did you stop for a drink in your favorite bar? You know, even so, I’ll love you as you are Did you decide the drive was just too damn far? You know, even so, I’ll want you as you are As water comes leaking through a hole in my shoe I wonder why I need someone like you I’ve been waiting so long my nails have turned white You said that we’d have fun if I came over tonight In every race we’ve run, I’ve given you a head-start I was taught that I ought to love you as you are I tried to call you collect, but no one is home Are you sober enough to get to the phone? I can see every breath that I breathe in the air And I accept the truth that you’re probably there Why do you do these things to me you do? What have I ever done wrong to you? Did you stop for a drink in your favorite bar? You know, even so, I’ll love you as you are Did you decide the drive was just too damn far? You know, even so, I’ll want you as you are As water comes leaking through a hole in my shoe I wonder why I need someone like you Perhaps it broke down again—it’s a very old car But, even if not, I’ll love you as you are Perhaps I really shouldn’t give you head-starts I just do it because I love you as you are It’s time to hitch back, even though it is dark And, if I can’t get home, I’ll go sleep in the park This is not the first time, so I just feel numb And I know that, tomorrow, you’ll remember to come Why do you do these things to me you do? What have I ever done wrong to you? Did you stop for a drink in your favorite bar? You know, even so, I’ll love you as you are Did you decide the drive was just too damn far? You know, even so, I’ll want you as you are As water comes leaking through a hole in my shoe I wonder why I need someone like you You never have tried to hurt me this much, I’m sure You never have wanted to make me have to endure Fate deals out hands—you didn’t like what you had And because you are angry, I will be left sad And I’ll always defend you like I’ve done-so thus far Because I always will love you just the way you are Because I always will love you with all of my heart Because I will always love you, even broken apart
