Yeah, oh why, why
You didn't have to leave me baby
See I called you today
No one picked up the phone
As fast as I could girl I ran to your home
When I arrived to my surprise
You were gone, oh babe
Your neighbor informed me
That you moved away
How could you not tell me
And leave me this way
With no goodbyes and crying eyes
I wish you would have stayed

So I count every second
I count every minute
That you are away from me
I just can't take it oh why
Can't I get with you

So I count every second
I count every minute
That you are away from me
I just can't take it oh why
Can't I get with you

Things won't be the same
There's no me without you
For the rest of my life
I'll be searching for you
On first love don't know how much
I'll miss you yeah
There are lessons in love
And I've learned my first one
My mom says get ready
I've got more to come
But I can't take no more heartache
I want you

So I count every second
I count every minute
That you are away from me
I just can't take it oh why
Can't I get with you

So I count every second
I count every minute
That you are away from me
I just can't take it oh why
Can't I get with you

So we made a promise, a promise
A promise (yes we did oh)
It's all good baby (it's alright)
It's alright baby (yeah it's alright)
(because I'm missing the first time)
It was so innocent baby, yes it was
The first time oh my very first time
That we kissed oh baby yeah
Like this yeah
(that we kissed like this)

So I count every second
I count every minute
That you are away from me
I just can't take it oh why
Can't I get with you
