Now let the frozen cities crumble, crumble and fall
That's alright, I don't mind at all
Let 'em all tumble right into the sea
Well, that's just fine, that's alright with me
Since you came down the line
I can't sleep at night, I got one thing on my mind
That's every day, every night
I wanna be with you, I wanna be with you
That's what I wanna do
'Cause you're just so out of sight
(I wanna be with you), I wanna be with you
That's what I wanna do
Now I lost my job at the Texaco station
'Cause instead of pumping gas I'd dream of you
I got thrown out of my house, I got such a bad reputation
'Cause all I wanna do is be seen with you
They gave me my pay and said walk
I don't care what they say, go ahead and let 'em all talk
But 'til the world falls apart
I wanna be with you, I wanna be with you
That's what I wanna do
Until they rip out my heart
I wanna be with you, I wanna be with you
Well, that's all I wanna do
Hold tight, love me just a little bit
Alright, a little bit more tonight
Tonight give me just a little kiss
No I don't know, I don't know, I don't
I just can't understand it, you're not pretty at all
But I come when you whisper, I run when you call
When I see you on the street, I fall on my face
I drop to my knees, I plead my case
I wanna be with you, I wanna be with you
That's what I wanna do
I wanna be with you, I wanna be with you
That's all I wanna do
I wanna be with you, I wanna be with you
Darling, don't you know
I wanna be with you, I wanna be with you
Because I love you so
That's alright, I don't mind at all
Let 'em all tumble right into the sea
Well, that's just fine, that's alright with me
Since you came down the line
I can't sleep at night, I got one thing on my mind
That's every day, every night
I wanna be with you, I wanna be with you
That's what I wanna do
'Cause you're just so out of sight
(I wanna be with you), I wanna be with you
That's what I wanna do
Now I lost my job at the Texaco station
'Cause instead of pumping gas I'd dream of you
I got thrown out of my house, I got such a bad reputation
'Cause all I wanna do is be seen with you
They gave me my pay and said walk
I don't care what they say, go ahead and let 'em all talk
But 'til the world falls apart
I wanna be with you, I wanna be with you
That's what I wanna do
Until they rip out my heart
I wanna be with you, I wanna be with you
Well, that's all I wanna do
Hold tight, love me just a little bit
Alright, a little bit more tonight
Tonight give me just a little kiss
No I don't know, I don't know, I don't
I just can't understand it, you're not pretty at all

When I see you on the street, I fall on my face
I drop to my knees, I plead my case
I wanna be with you, I wanna be with you
That's what I wanna do
I wanna be with you, I wanna be with you
That's all I wanna do
I wanna be with you, I wanna be with you
Darling, don't you know
I wanna be with you, I wanna be with you
Because I love you so
