I smile and wave
you walk away
I try so hard
you never stay
All I want
is to be with you
in your arms
and never move
You actin' like
I'm in the wrong
been wantin' you
for oh so long
Can't help how I feel
you make me weak
you walk by
and I
can barely speak
So every night
my knees I'll bend
and pray that God
one day will send
Send you my way
to comfort me
to talk all night
when I can't sleep
I'll pick you up
when you fall
I'll be there
when you can't stand at all
So I've heard
some others
want you too
they love your smile
the things you do
But today I'll stand
and guarantee
that none of them
want you like me
Can they erase their smile
when you're around?
I can't
Can they stand by your side
when you're down?
I can.
But sometimes
I don't feel good enough
and growin' up
can be so rough
when everyone at the dance
has someone
but me
and the one I want
holds the hand
of the one he sees
But she's not me
she's someone else
someone better
more looks, more wealth
But I'll tell you now
there's more to me
than what you see
I dream of you
so hear my plea
With hands clenched tight
I'll pray today
that you'll be sent
be sent my way
