  • You know I told you once tonight
    That you could always speak your mind
    You work so hard to say what's right
    I watch you do it all the time

    And when I called you on the phone
    You said that I could be the one
    But here I'm standing all alone
    And you're out lying in the sun

    Tell me, am I getting in too deep
    Every night I'm talking in my sleep
    Lately I am so confused
    I really don't know what to do

    Could you be the one I'm thinking of
    Could you be the girl I really love
    All the people tell me so
    But what do all the people know

    You know I told you once tonight
    That you could always speak your mind
    You work so hard to say what's right
    I watch you do it all the time

    And when I called you on the phone
    You said that I could be the one
    But here I'm standing all alone
    And you're out lying in the sun

    Tell me, am I getting in too deep
    Every night I'm talking in my sleep
    Lately we're just holding on
    To something that will soon be gone

    Could you be the one I'm thinking of
    Could you be the girl I really love
    All the people tell me so
    But what do all the people know

    Do you think I'm blind to what you do
    Do you think I really care for you
    Or is it just another game that you and I pretend to play
    Do you think we both should let it show
    Do you think we both should let it go
    Or is it just another game that you and I pretend to play

    Tell me, am I getting in too deep
    Every night I'm talking in my sleep
    Lately I am so confused
    I really don't know what to do

    Could you be the one I'm thinking of
    Could you be the girl I really love
    All the people tell me so
    But what do all the people know

    All the people tell me so
    But what do all the people know
    All the people tell me so
    But what do all the people know Writer/s: BOB DAVIS, ROBERT MICHAEL DAVIS
