On my toes, I needed help

You booked a flight in three days
(Like it like that)
You’d meet papa (Mm)
The waiting, the gazing
The painting, the raging
The raving, the pacing
The praying, the shaking
I must admit, I was breaking
I must admit, I was taking
I must admit, my heart was racing
Telephone waiting, make it
I just believed you waking
A memory in the making
Call me
Won’t you call me? (Call)

Your baby’s three, he’s the best, Onika

Set me, set me, set me free
Why didn’t you come back to get me?
Love me, love me, love me, be
Why would anyone want to love me?
Rich, yes, but are you happy?
