1
I call you up, you pick up.
You call my bluff, on the cards of love.
You hold too close, your hands to your chest.
I can read your eyes, but I confess.
It's lonely far from you, even when you're right by me.
It's only while I wait for you, to take my hand
Why do I beg like a child for your candy? Why do I come after you like I do?
I love you. Whatever you are, I swear. You'll be my angel.
You.
I play my cards as best I can. But I lose my luck when you're not here.
My darling heart, won't you please give in?
I may be strong but I want you back again.
When you're not here, oh, it's hard to pretend
It's all alright again.
When you're not here, love, it's hard to pretend It's all alright, still
Why do I beg like a child for your candy?
Why do I run after you like I do? I love you.
Whatever you are I swear, you'll be my angel.
You.
Watch the day, count your cards.
It makes no sense that I'm always losing when you're gone.
Why do I beg like a child for your candy
Why do I come after you like I do? I love you.
Whatever you are I swear, you'll be my angel.
You.
When you're gone.
You call my bluff, on the cards of love.
You hold too close, your hands to your chest.
I can read your eyes, but I confess.
It's lonely far from you, even when you're right by me.
It's only while I wait for you, to take my hand
Why do I beg like a child for your candy? Why do I come after you like I do?
I love you. Whatever you are, I swear. You'll be my angel.
You.
I play my cards as best I can. But I lose my luck when you're not here.
My darling heart, won't you please give in?
I may be strong but I want you back again.
When you're not here, oh, it's hard to pretend
It's all alright again.
When you're not here, love, it's hard to pretend It's all alright, still
Why do I beg like a child for your candy?
Why do I run after you like I do? I love you.
Whatever you are I swear, you'll be my angel.
You.
Watch the day, count your cards.
It makes no sense that I'm always losing when you're gone.
Why do I beg like a child for your candy
Why do I come after you like I do? I love you.
Whatever you are I swear, you'll be my angel.
You.
When you're gone.

Hey guys do you know why Everday sounds so much different from his older cd's? Cause 1) He wanted to make things differently and 2) Being a musician is a business, if you dont get more and more fans, you changed (tweak) your style of music. And as for dave, he isnt a sell out, hes just tryin to stay up in the business.. Just imagine how many new fans hes gotten since Everyday was released? But everyone knows that at his concerts, he'll play majority of his old cd's
