MELISSA ETHERIDGE LYRICS - If You Want To

"If You Want To"



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



[Chorus]

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
