You said you want me
But I'm in awful shape
You said you need me
But not this time or place
I wish I knew how to set this girl straight

I need direction
But far away from you
I'll take the hit this time
So I'm alone all night

Your body's glowing under a neon light
You turn toward me, saying that I'm too uptight
I wish I knew how to stay up all night

I need direction
But far away from you
I'll take the hit this time
So I'm alone all night

But false correction, looks like you're right this time
I tried to make it right (I tried to make it right)
So I'm alone all night

I'll take the hit this time
So I'm alone all night
I'll take the hit this time
