See the stone set in your eyes  
See the thorn twist in your side  
I’ll wait for you  
Sleight of hand and twist of fate  
On a bed of nails, she makes me wait  
And I wait without you

How I miss you baby  
So don’t let me wait too long

How I miss you baby  
So don’t let me wait,

Don’t let me wait,  
Don’t let me wait too long

So tired, tired of waiting  
Tired of waiting for you  
So tired, tired of waiting  
Tired of waiting for you

I was a lonely soul  
I had nobody till I met you  
But you, keeping me waiting, all of the time  
What can I do?

I’m so tired  
I don’t know what to do  
I’m so tired  
My mind is set on you

I wonder should I call you,  
But I know what you would do…

I’m so excited, and I just can’t hide it,  
I’m about to lose control and I think I like it.  
I’m so excited, and I just can’t hide it,  
And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know I want you,

So you don’t have to call anymore  
I won’t pick up the phone  
This is the last straw  
There’s nothing left to beg for  
And you can tell me that you’re sorry but I don’t believe you, baby, like I did before  
You’re not sorry

Hello, how are you?  
Have you been alright  
Through all those lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely nights?  
That’s what I’d say  
I’d tell you everything  
If you’d pick up that telephone

Unless I cut off all my hair

Almost cut my hair  
It happened just the other day  
It’s gettin’ kinda long  
I could’ve said it was in my way  
But I didn’t and I wonder why  
I feel like letting my freak flag fly
