[With Sarah Buxton]

Chorus:

If you don wanna love me, then Il find somebody else who will

Find another kinda thrill, find another way to fill this loneliness (repeat)

A married couple with kids and a family pet

He takes for granted that it all good and things are set

But she feels no passion in their romance

It been a year since they had their last slow dance

Even worse her husband treats her like an ornament

Every other week the kids have a tournament

A team meeting or somewhere theye gotta be

But her heart screaminey! What about me!Unbeknownst, another hound is in the chicken coup

And he makinmoves like a player to the hoop

She met at the gym, or was it at the grocery

It doesn matter cause you know where it goinB!

cause last year, her Mister got caught cheatinSo she figures that this is gonna make m even

He thought she wait like all the times before

Until he found the note she left for him hanging on the door

It read:

(Repeat Chorus)

She sixteen, callinhome to her mama

Afraid to talk ause she scared of all the noise and drama

She been gone for a week and a half

All she wants is something to eat and a nap

cause she a runaway

Sleepinunder bridges and sleepinin alleyways

Afraid to go to the shelter so at night she prays

That hopefully she gonna see some better days

Meanwhile Mom and Dad are really frantic

When they saw her clothes were gone, you know they really panicked

Thoughts in their minds id she run to the borderOr even worse, will she be a case on aw and Order!The silence in her room screams of not feelinwanted

Of not being good enough it almost seems haunted

All her pain soon will be known

When she leaves her mom and dad a message after the tone

And says:

(Repeat Chorus)

If you really wanna know me

I guess you better show me

Is it real or is it phony

Just love me or leave me alone
