  • Never been much good on my own
    So I'm tryin' to find somebody else
    Never been good at findin' much except
    Loneliness all by myself
    Spottin' you ain't been easy
    Oh, and what's a boy to do
    When I got this spot right beside me baby
    Waiting here just for you

    So you go hide
    And I'll come seek
    Maybe someday in the middle
    We just might meet
    Because I'm counting to a hundred
    And I promise I won't peek
    As you go hide
    And I come seek

    How much longer will this game go on
    I guess only time will tell
    Cause I hate to hear that you're all alone
    Overlooked in search of someone else

    So you go hide
    And I'll come seek
    Maybe someday in the middle
    We just might meet
    Cause I'm counting to a hundred
    And I promise I won't peek
    As you go

    Please show your face
    Because I want you to be it...yeah
    I want you to be it
