I need you so desperately

Waiting for you to come bringing your love to me [but]

Climb the highest hill, just to have you near me

A million years, I would wait for you

A million tears, baby I'd be true

A million miles, I would follow you

A million years, if you want me to

Verse 3:

Pacing the floor, detest

Sweat pouring down my chest, still I can't love you less

It's worth all the pain and pride

Baby, I just can't hide all that I feel inside [and]

[repeat chorus]

[repeat riff 2 (2X)]

[repeat chorus to fade]
