I call you up, you pick up
You call my bluff, on the cards of love
You hold too close your hands to your chest
I can't read your eyes, but I confess
It's lonely far from you
Even when you're right by me
It's only why I wait for you to take my hand

Why do I beg like a child for your candy?
Why do I come after you like I do I love you
Whatever you are I swear
You'll be my angel
You

I play my cards best I can
But I lose my luck when you're not here
My darling heart, won't you please give in
I may be strong but I want you back again
When you're not here it's hard to pretend
It's all alright again
When you're not here love it's hard to pretend
It's all alright...still

Why do I beg like a child for your candy?
Why do I run after you like I do I love you
Whatever you are I swear
You'll be my angel
You

Watch the deck, count your cards
Makes no sense, that I'm always losing
When you're gone

Why do I beg like a child for your candy?
Why do I come after you like I do I love you
Whatever you are I swear
You'll be my angel
You

When you're gone...
