Folks said that you found someone new To do the thing I used to do for you Just call my name, I'm not ashamed I'll come running back to you Can't sleep goodnight, I can't eat a bite When you were mine I didn't sweet your right Just call my name, I know, I know I'm not ashamed I'll come running back to you Just like a king, I've lost everything I sit all alone on my throne I've got my pride deep down inside I'm yours, I'm yours alone I try to forget, had no regrets This love about could always start anew Just call my name, wooh, I know I'm not ashamed I'll come running back to you

It always gets worse, do I deserve to drag my thoughts right thru the dirt? Everything that makes me work is out the door, and if you ever want to come back for more: I'll do it again, but I'll only do it worse.
