Written by Del Shannon

Here I am standing with these teardrops in my eyes
Hoping maybe someday you will change
I heard that same ole story too many times before
You tell me that you love me then you turn around and run
I just want your sweet love
I can't stop coming around
You know that your sweet love
Someday it's going to tear me down, down, down, down, down, down, d-d-down

Here I am still waiting like the fool I've always been
Hoping maybe some day you will change
I try to give you all of my heart time after time
But you hang me out there like a puppet on a string

I just want your sweet love
I can't stop coming around
You know that your sweet love
Someday it's going to tear me down, down, down, down, down, down, d-d-down
