Baby Don't Leave Me Alone With My Thoughts

Hard times, hard times
When I really need somebody to hold me tight
And tell me I'm strong
Last night, last night
You were really there for me, so thank you
For playing along
But I gotta be honest with you, baby
This is not about love
I gotta be honest with you, baby
I'm not above using you
To get me through the night

Baby, don't leave me alone with my thoughts
I don't wanna get caught on the current of my mind
Baby, don't leave me alone with my thoughts, ooh, ooh, ooh

An old man, an old man
Has got his little hands on the button
Feels like nothing anyone can do, yeah
People out there crackin' up, crackin' up
And I'm just tryna keep it together
Notice that I feel better when I'm holdin' you
But I gotta be honest with you, baby
This is not about love
I gotta be honest with you, baby
You're here to help rid me of
The demons of the night

Baby, don't leave me alone with my thoughts
I don't wanna get caught on the current of my mind
Baby, don't leave me alone with my thoughts, ooh, ooh, ooh
Would you be my human shield?
Hold you so that I don't feel anything
Hold you so that I don't hear the ringing in my head

Baby, don't leave me alone with my thoughts, ooh, ooh, ooh
I don't wanna get caught on the current of my mind, ooh, ooh, ooh
Baby, don't leave me alone with my thoughts, I, I, I don't
Wanna get caught in the prison of the present time, ooh, ooh, ooh
Baby, don't leave me alone with my thoughts, ooh, ooh, ooh

Would you be my human shield?
Hold you up so I don't feel anything
Would you be my human shield?
Hold you so that I don't fear anything
Hold you so that I don't hear the ringing in my head
And in my heart
