In my dreams I know you're always by my side Everywhere I go, you linger in my mind I've been waiting so long for a special girl And then you came to lift me up and rocked my world Baby don't go I just want you here Right by my side I won't hide my tears Baby don't go I've waited for so long I want you so Come and hold me strong Got a feeling that I can't resist you From the moment I laid my eyes on you Tell me honey what you wanna do 'Cause my heart is getting lost inside of you Guess I've always known that you'd say goodbye And time and time again, you made me cry I spent hours trying to get you on the phone Lying on my bed feels so alone Baby don't go I just want you here Right by my side I won't hide my tears Baby don't go I've waited for so long I want you so Come and hold me strong Got a feeling that I can't resist you From the moment I laid my eyes on you Tell me honey what you wanna do 'Cause my heart is getting lost inside of you Baby don't go I just want you here Right by my side I won't hide my tears Baby don't go I've waited oh so long I want you so Come and hold me strong

I'm alone, fever dog Scratchin' at my back door I hear you howl But I don't listen no more Got to spit it out The taste of the hair Of the fever dog Come around again Well, that would be the end Of the fever dog Fever dog Came to this Black City I'm not surprised You're beggin' now for six days Got to spit it out The taste of the hair Of the fever dog Come around again Well that would be the end Of the fever dog Got to spit it out The taste of the hair Of the fever dog Come around again Well that would be the end Of the fever dog Oh, oh, oh Scratchin' at my back door
