i know you love it when i say
how much you mean to me
you don't hear it very often
it seems like everything i do
is the only thing that's important to you
and all those things i have to say

once you tried to be like me
and why did you
you are so perfect as you are
you need me far too much

chorus
please don't do this to us
there is so much inside you
so dont stop thinking
please don't do this to us
well you can listen to me
but don't forget yourself

how were you before i came
you can't remember
it was too long ago
where are the thoughts you once had
i think they disappeared
the moment i came into your life
with all those things i had to say

chorus
please don't do this to us
there is so much inside you
so dont stop thinking
please don't do this to us
well you can listen to me
but don't forget yourself
