Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I called you late last night without the nerve to talk
'Cause I was scared you wouldn't answer if you heard my voice again
I know it pissed you off, when you picked up you said real soft
That's the risk I'll take to feel like I've been a little missed
[Chorus]
Am I wrong for it? Am I crazy?
Do you wanna call me back just maybe?
Do you long for it? Do you hate me?
Are we ever gonna work out, baby?
Are we ever gonna work out, baby?
[Verse 2]
You said you know it's me, I called three times but you won't speak
I can't figure out what I would say even if I did
You said you got a man, but he don't love you like I can
And I'd give you another chance if you'd only call it quits
[Chorus]
Am I wrong for it? Am I crazy?
Do you wanna call me back just maybe?
Do you long for it? Do you hate me?
Are we ever gonna work out, baby?
Am I too attached? Am I lazy?
'Cause I always find a way back lately
Do you hate him 'cause you hate me?
Are we ever gonna work out, baby?
Are we ever gonna work out, baby?
[Outro]
I called you late last night without the nerve to talk
'Cause I was scared you wouldn't answer if you heard my voice again
I called you late last night without the nerve to talk
'Cause I was scared you wouldn't answer if you heard my voice again
I know it pissed you off, when you picked up you said real soft
That's the risk I'll take to feel like I've been a little missed
[Chorus]
Am I wrong for it? Am I crazy?
Do you wanna call me back just maybe?
Do you long for it? Do you hate me?
Are we ever gonna work out, baby?
Are we ever gonna work out, baby?
[Verse 2]
You said you know it's me, I called three times but you won't speak
I can't figure out what I would say even if I did
You said you got a man, but he don't love you like I can
And I'd give you another chance if you'd only call it quits
[Chorus]
Am I wrong for it? Am I crazy?
Do you wanna call me back just maybe?
Do you long for it? Do you hate me?
Are we ever gonna work out, baby?
Am I too attached? Am I lazy?
'Cause I always find a way back lately
Do you hate him 'cause you hate me?
Are we ever gonna work out, baby?
Are we ever gonna work out, baby?
[Outro]
I called you late last night without the nerve to talk
'Cause I was scared you wouldn't answer if you heard my voice again
