Love this song and Lyn Lapid!!! Here are the lyrics:
Only call when it’s 3:00 a.m.
Hi, hi
I say I’m tired but I’m back again
Why? Why?
Ring me just to be in your bed, one more time
These weren’t signs, it was you I misread
Bye, goodnight
Walk out the door, you’re not watching
Turn off the porch light, I bet you think
I’m better to keep as an option
‘Cause I would hate to tie you down
I’m nothing but a second thought to have around
Here to drop in, when you call in
Put me away when my time is up
Kiss me again like I’m not enough to tie you down
But you’ll keep me around
I’m only yours when you’re all alone, right?
Why keep me close when it’s just for show?
It’s all a lie
Is this what you wanted?
Deep down you saw me and always knew I was better to keep as an option
‘Cause I would hate to tie you down
Yeah, I’m nothing but a second thought to have around
Here to drop in, when you call in
Put me away when my time is up
Kiss me again like I’m not enough to tie you down
But you’ll keep me around
Keep me on the edge
Bet that’s what you said
Only time you’ll ever call me yours is to keep me around
Keep me on the edge
Bet that’s what you said
Only time you’ll ever call me yours is to keep me around
Keep me on the edge
Bet that’s what you said
Only time you’ll ever call me yours is to keep me around
Keep me on the edge
Bet that’s what you said
Only time you’ll ever call me yours is to keep me around
‘Cause I would hate to tie you down
I’m nothing but a second thought to have around
Here to drop in, when you call in
Put me away when my time is up
Kiss me again like I’m not enough to tie you down
But you’ll keep me around
Absolutely love this song and Lyn Lapid!!!❤️❤️❤️
