“I didn't mean it when I said I didn't love you so I should have held on tight I never should have let you go I didn't know nothing, I was stupid, I was foolish I was lying to myself I couldn't have fathomed I would ever be without your love Never imagined I'd be sitting Here beside myself Guess I…” quote by Mariah Carey

“I didn't mean it when I said I didn't love you so I should have held on tight I never should have let you go I didn't know nothing, I was stupid, I was foolish I was lying to myself I couldn't have fathomed I would ever be without your love Never imagined I'd be sitting Here beside myself Guess I didn't know you You'd guess I didn't know me But I thought I knew everything I never felt The feeling that I'm feeling Now that I don't hear your voice Or have your touch and kiss your lips Cause I don't have a choice Oh what I wouldn't give To have you lying by my side Right here cause baby When you left I lost a part of me It's still so hard to believe Come back baby please cause We belong together Who else am I gonna lean on when times get rough Who's gonna talk to me on the phone Till the sun comes up Who's gonna take your place There ain't nobody better Oh baby baby We belong together I can't sleep at night When you are on my mind Bobby Womack's on the radio Singing to me If You Think You're Lonely Now Wait a minute this is too deep I gotta change the station So I turn the dial tryin' to catch a break And then I hear Babyface I Only Think Of You and it's breakin' my heart I'm tryin' to keep it together but I'm falling apart I'm feeling all out of my element Throwing things, crying tryin' To figure out where the hell I went wrong The pain reflected in this song Ain't even half of what I'm feeling inside I need you, need you back in my life baby When you left I lost a part of me It's still so hard to believe Come back baby please cause We belong together Who else am I gonna lean on when times get rough Who's gonna talk to me on the phone Till the sun comes up Who's gonna take your place There ain't nobody better Oh baby baby We belong together When you left I lost a part of me It's still so hard to believe Come back baby please cause We belong together Who am I gonna lean on When times get rough Who's gonna talk to me Till the sun comes up Who's gonna take your place There ain't nobody better Oh baby baby We belong together”
