LYRICS

Lying in my bed again and I cry cos you’re not here
Crying in my head again and I know that it’s not clear
Put your hands, put your hands inside my face and see that it’s just you
But it’s bad and it’s mad and it’s making me sad
Because I can’t be with you

Be with you
Be with you
Be with you
Be with you

Be with you
Be with you
Baby I can’t be with you

Thinking back on how things were and on how we loved so well
I wanted to be the mother of your child and now it’s just farewell
Put your hands in my hands and come with me, we’ll find another end
And my head, and my head on anyone’s shoulder
Cause I can’t be with you

Be with you
Be with you
Be with you
Be with you

Be with you
Be with you
Baby I can’t be with you

Cause you’re not he-e-ere, you’re not he-e-ere
Baby I can’t be with you
Cause you’re not he-e-ere, you’re not he-e-ere
Baby I’m still in love with you
la la la

(lu tu lu tu luu)
(tu lu tu lu tu luuu)

na na na na na na na na
Still in love with you-ou-ou, ou-ou, ou-ou
Well I’m still in love with you

na na na na na na na na
Still in love with you-ou-ou, ou-ou, ou-ou
Well I’m still in love with you

na na na na na na na na
Still in love with you-ou-ou, ou-ou, ou-ou
Well I’m still in love with you
