For Crying Out Loud by Lloyd Cole Lyrics

I took 15 years
To break your spell
I loved you then
I love you still
I wake up cold
I wake up wet
My body weak
My mind is spent
I fill my days
I pay my rent
And I have no need
Of electric light
Because I dream the same
Dream every night
I call my man
I know it's late
Could you fix me something
To put me straight?

Because I need your love
I need it now
God speed your love
For crying out loud
You took all I have
There is no more
Mother nature lied
There is no cure
So I take my pill
I close my eyes
And I wait for sleep
I wait all night
But I see your face
I hear your voice
So I call your number
I have no choice

Because I need your love
I need it now
God speed your love
For crying out loud

I took 15 years
To break your spell
I loved you then
I guess I failed
I wake up cold
I wake up wet
My body weak
My mind is spent
I fill my days
I pay my rent
And I have no need
And I have no one
Because I need your love
I need it now
God speed your love
God speed your love to me
For crying out loud
