If You Want To

Melissa Etheridge

Hello 
Yes that's what I said 
Guess I thought that I was dead 
So I just called you from my bed 
To say hello 

See I've got this funny notion 
life is only just an ocean 
I've been drowning in emotion 
Now I'm swimming back to shore 
And I'd like to talk to you 

If you want to 
You can call I'll be around 
If you want to 
You can write this number down 
If you want to 
If you want to 
Leave a message at the tone 
If you want to 
You can call me here at home 
If you want to 
I'll be alone 

So now I've called 
So it's been a couple days, ok seven this I know that I've been moving kinda slow 
So I called 
Oh it must be so appaling if you think that I've been stalling 
This is me now I am calling 
And I'm better than before 
And I'd like to talk to you 

Don't you wanna know, don't you wanna be 
Someone who takes a chance on a fool like me 
Staring at the door, starin' down the hall 
Waiting my whole life just for you to call 

Hello 
Yes that's what I said 
I'm not breathing I'm not dead 
Waiting here now in my bed 
And I'd like to talk to you 

If you want to 
You can call I'll be around 
If you want to 
You can write this number down 
If you want to 
If you want to 
Let your fingers do the walk 
If you want to 
I've got hours I can talk 
If you want to 
If you want to 
Leave a message at the tone 
If you want to 
You can call me here at home 
If you want to 

I'll be alone
