[English]

It don't matter when you turn

Gonna survive

You live and learn

I've been thinking about you, baby

By the light of dawn

A midnight blue, day and night

I've been missing you

I've been thinking about you, baby

Almost makes me crazy

Come and live with me

Either way, win or lose

When you're born into trouble

You live the blues

I've been thinking about you, baby

See it almost makes me crazy

Child, nothing's right, if you ain't here

I'll give all that I have just to keep you near

I wrote you a letter, I tried to make it clear

That you just don't believe that I'm sincere

I've been thinking about you, baby

Living with me, well

Plans and schemes

Hopes and fears

Dreams that deny for all these years

I, I've been thinking about you, baby

Living with me, well

I've been thinking about you, baby

Makes me wanna, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Child, nothing's right, if you ain't here

I'll give all that I have just to keep you near

I wrote you a letter, darling, tried to make it clear

Oh, but you just don't believe that I'm sincere

I've been thinking about you, baby

I want you to live with me, well

I've been thinking about you, baby

I want you to live with me
