Lyrics

I'm so tired of being alone

I feel exhausted and fed up with being alone.

I'm so tired of on my own

Expressing weariness of being by myself.

Won't you help me, girl

Seeking assistance or companionship from a girl.

Just as soon as you can

Requesting prompt help from the girl.

People say that I've found a way

People claim I've discovered a method to make you confess your love.

To make you say

Implying a successful way to make the girl say she loves him.

That you love me

Asking for the confirmation of love.

But baby

Addressing the girl affectionately.

You didn't go for that

Stating that the girl didn't agree with the mentioned method.

Ha, it's a natural fact

Asserting that his desire to come back is a natural fact.

That I want to come back

Expressing a strong desire to return.

Show me where it's at, baby

Asking the girl to show where the relationship stands.


I'm so tired of being alone

Reiterating the fatigue of being alone.

I'm so tired of on my own

Repeating the exhaustion of being on his own.

Won't you help me, girl

Repeating the request for help from the girl.

Soon as you can

Emphasizing the urgency of the girl's assistance.

I guess you know that I, uh

Acknowledging the girl's awareness that he loves her.

I love you so

Expressing love despite the girl's apparent disinterest.

Even though

Accepting the reality that the girl doesn't want him anymore.

You don't want me no more

Addressing the girl's rejection.

Hey, hey, hey, hey I'm cryin' tears

Expressing emotional pain and crying over the years.

Through the years

Referencing the passage of time with tears.

I tell you like it is

Asserting honesty and asking the girl to love him if she can.

Honey, love me if you can

Endearing term used to express the request for love.


Ya baby

An affectionate address to the girl.

Tired of being alone here by myself, now

Expressing weariness of being alone.

I tell ya, I'm tired baby

Reiterating the feeling of exhaustion.

I'm tired of being all wrapped up late at night

Tired of being emotionally entangled late at night in dreams.

In my dreams, nobody but you, baby

Dreaming exclusively about the girl.

Sometimes I wonder

Expressing doubt about the girl's professed love.

If you love me like you say you do

Pondering the sincerity of the girl's love.

You see baby, I, I, I, I've been thinking about you

Revealing continuous thoughts about the girl.

I've been wanting to get next to you, baby

Expressing a strong desire to be close to the girl.

Sometimes I hold my arms and I say

Expressing physical longing for the girl.

Oh baby, yeah, needing you has proven to me

Declaring that needing the girl is a significant dream.

To be my greatest dream, yeah

Emphasizing the dream of needing the girl as the greatest.


Awh!

Exclamation expressing intense emotion.


I'm so tired of being alone,

Repeating the weariness of being alone.

I'm so tired of on my own,

Repeating the exhaustion of being on his own.

Sometimes late at night I get to wonderin' about you baby

Thinking about the girl late at night.

Baby, baby, ya ya, baby you're my heart's desire

Affirming the girl as the heart's desire.
