I've been blessed eternally
To once have had you
Oh, but I'm counting the moments, girl
'Til you decide
If you want me back
Can't you see the shape I'm in, darlin'
Call me, I'm the loneliest man you'll ever see
And it ain't gonna get no better
'Til you return to me
I could be with two or three ladies
That ain't the answer
You touch my spirit in a way that is heavenly
Lord knows I'm thankful
Can't you look and find a way to settle down
With a man who ain't inclined to fool around
And it ain't gonna get no better
'Til you return to me
(Come on, come on)
Where do you get it?
The energy to pull away from me
When I've been strong in my love for you
There's gotta be something
Something I can do, hey girl
I don't need the misery
From the pain I'm getting from you leaving me
I guess I will wait 'til you decide
Are you ever gonna come back by my side
I need more than just a friend, darlin'
Call on me, I'm the loneliest man you'll ever see
And it ain't gonna get no better
(Take a look at me)
It ain't gonna get no better
Ain't gonna get no better
'Til you return to me
(I'm gonna say it again, girl, one more time)
Ain't gonna get no better
Ain't gonna get no better
Ain't gonna get no better
'Til you return to me
('Til you return to me)
Ain't gonna get no better
(Ain't gonna get no better, baby)
Ain't gonna get no better
Ain't gonna get no better
'Til you return to me
(Come on home, turn me on)
Ain't gonna get no better
(No, no, no, girl)
Ain't gonna get no better
(Ain't gonna get no better, baby)
Ain't gonna get no better
'Til you return to me
('Til you return to me)
Ain't gonna get no better
(I can't eat, I can't sleep)
Ain't gonna get no better
(I'm tired of walking the streets)
Ain't gonna get no better
'Til you return to me
('Til you return to me)
