Baby, talk to me
What is going on? Yeah
'Cause lately we ain't been spendin' time alone
Last night when I touched your hand, you didn't wanna hold
Today no kiss goodbye
Just said you had to go
If you're leavin' me, baby
I just wanna know, I just wanna know
If you're done with me, baby

To mend my broken heart, oh yeah

If you're done with me, baby
I just wanna know, I just wanna know
