Lyrics and translation
Original
One, two.
Long night, can't sleep. Too hurt, too weak.
Gotta call her bup.
Dial that number.
No one answers till it's two o'clock.
And if by chance you let me come on over.
Out on the street, I wanna see you, baby.
And if by chance you let me just hold ya.
I'm down on my knee, I wanna please you, baby.
Ooh, I'll be your righteous lover.
She says, "Sugar, honey, darling.
I really wanna see you too. "
I bet you do, bet you do, bet you do.
It's just that someone's over. And baby,
I really wanna be with you.
But if by chance you let me just hold ya.
I'm calling, I'm free, I wanna see you, baby.
Ooh, when in need, you said you would be here.
And you hold the key to my very fear, baby.
I love you, baby. I love you, baby. If you are that special lover.
And love keeps you tied to another. That's the way it goes on a love string.
Sometimes heartstrings can be broken. But you just have to keep on going.
That's the way it goes on a love string.
On a long night, lady wants her baby. So she calls him up.
Oh, when it ring-a-ling, it only mean one thing. Come on.
Dial that number.
No one answers till it's two o'clock.
And if by chance you just come on over, girl.
I'm singing please, I've got to see you, baby.
Ooh, when in need, you said you would be right here.
Well, I'm in need.
I need you to please believe, please believe I love you, baby. If you are that special lover.
And love keeps you tied to another. That's the way it goes on a love string.
You don't need no, you don't need no ticket to ride. Sometimes heartstrings can be broken.
But you just have to keep on going. That's the way it goes on a love string. Listen, baby.
Listen, ba-a-by. It keeps on, oh, you've been soaking.
But you just have to keep on stroking. That's the way it goes on a love string.
Love's a hurting thing, girl, it makes you wanna cry. Come on.
If you are that special lover. And love keeps you tied to another.
That's the way it goes on a love string.
Oh!
