I'm here alone on the telephone line
I'm right where you want me to be
And I'll wait alone and never ask why
I'll be where you want me to be
And I know...
I've been here before and I know your kind
You're right where I want you to be
Now I'll say what I think
I'll never be what you want me to be
(Just to be who I am)
What do you want me to be?
You'll be on your knees
Tell me
Tell me it's not true
I'm right where you want me to be
And I'll wait alone and never ask why
I'll be where you want me to be
And I know...
I've been here before and I know your kind
You're right where I want you to be
Now I'll say what I think
I'll never be what you want me to be
(Just to be who I am)
What do you want me to be?
You'll be on your knees
Tell me
Tell me it's not true

And yeah, it's about unrequited love, or lost love, whichever.
Of course, when I think of the meaning to this song, I think of it to be more like the girl's leading him on into thinking she loves him, while HE is the one that becomes obsessed. But he can't help how he feels.
Something among those lines.
lol my dirty little secret, Mike. joke, joke.. lol
I see this song as " I wanna be there for you but I still need my freedom to be me, this is who am if you are ready to deal with that.
