I turned my back You were gone in a flash Like you always do You've always gone off somewhere else And when the phone rang And I thought it was you And I sprung like a kid who just got out of school But it's almost always never you, never you I screamed like a child My insides went wild When I'm alone with you You make me feel, you make me feel When I'm alone with you You are the one, you are the one And when I reach out and I only grab air And it kills me to think that you never did care And it's hopeless You've always run off somewhere else I'm throwing a tantrum Why are you such a phantom? When I'm alone with you You make me feel, you make me feel When I'm alone with you You are the one, you are the one When I'm alone with you You make me feel, you make me feel When I'm alone with you You are the one, you are the one Remind me of home When you're around me Next time you leave Don't go without me No, don't go No, no Yeah, yeah (When I'm alone with you) You make me feel, you make me feel (When I'm alone with you) You are the one, you are the one (When I'm alone with you) You make me feel, you make me feel (When I'm alone with you) You are the one, you are the one
