So you better wake up Pay attention to me I need to talk And you need to see What i've been feeling Got so much inside You know you've been stealing My peace of mind You never take the time to listen You never take the time to care Hear me - i'm talking to you Hear me - i wanna tell you the truth Hear me, hear me - that's all i want Hear me - i'm hurting inside Hear me - you better treat me right Hear me - you're gonna lose me if you don't I'm like anyone else I need more than love Need to know you're a friend Someone i can count on Somebody to laugh with Someone to cry Somebody to live with - not die You gotta take the time to listen You gotta take the time to care
