"What I Mean To You" lyrics

"What I Mean To You"

Well, I call you every morning
And bring you flowers to work, never stay out too late
And I quit drinking, mama
'Cause I know how it hurts you to see me in such an awful state

But right now I just feel the need to see this through
So I need to know right now just what I mean to you

Now I don't need no riches, diamonds or gold
No ordinary trinkets will do
And I don't expect you to break out in song
'Cause I know that you can't carry a tune

So speak low when you speak love if that's what you gotta do
I need to know right now just what I mean to you

Now I don't ask for too much, now do I?
So grant me this, don't turn away
Look me in the eye and put me in my place

'Cause I'm feeling that you're fooling around with my heart
Oh, but I can't be sure
Yeah, I feel like I'm stumbling around in the dark
Meet danger 'round every turn

So tell me right now 'cause it's the least you can do
I need to know right now just what I mean to you
Yeah, I need to know right now just what I mean to you
