I cry for love that's gone
A love that can't be mine
Well I'll pay every day for loving you
Darling deep down inside

How am I gonna tell you
How am I gonna let you know
That night and day I think about you
And it's killing me slow

The temptation of you is oh so strong
I know I can't have you
Why can't I leave you alone

Oh I know that this trouble
Oh it's here to stay
That's why I'm keeping me distance
Oh I'm praying that you come my way
Praying that you come my way
Oh praying that you come my way

The temptation of you is oh so strong
I know I can't have you
Why can't I leave you alone

Oh I want you to come see me
Oh late at night
That's when we'll pull down the shades darling
And we'll turn down the lights

Ooo I don't want to hurt myself
Don't want to drive you away
That's why I'm keeping my distance
Oh I'm praying that you come my way
Praying that you come my way
Oh praying that you come my......
Oh praying that you come my way
