Hey Joe...

Hey Joe...where are you spending your time tonight,
while I'm trying to win this fight...with my heart?
And Joe...you know I waited so long for you,
But I didn't know what to do to make it start.

See I've played this game before
and said I wouldn't do it anymore,
Because I never win the prize,
But there was something...something in your eyes.

Hey Joe...Do you think about me when I'm not there?
Does it feel like your starting to care, like me?
And Joe...When you go to bed at night,
do you feel something isn't right, when it's empty?

See I've felt this feeling in the past
And said that that time would be the last,
Because it never turns out right,
But I saw something...saw something that night.

Hey Joe...Does it bother you when I call?
Do you think about me at all, like I think about you?
And Joe...When you said the things you said,
did you mean something else instead?  Tell the truth.

See I waited a long time for you,
But I never really tried to pursue.
Because I never win the prize,
But I got lost, lost inside your eyes.

Hey Joe...did you abandon me because of her?
Is she the reason you went back on your word? I have to know.
And Joe...Is there a heart inside that chest?
I thought you were different from the rest, but that's not so.

See I've played this game before.
And said I wouldn't do it anymore,
Because I always end up hurt,
But I believed...I believed your words.

Hey Joe...Whatchya gonna do when she goes back to him?
Are you going to try to let me in?  It might be too late.
And Joe...Do you feel any inch of regret,
Or hasn't it hit you yet?  Well, you just wait.

See one day it's gonna hit you
And one day I'm gonna forget you.
Maybe by that time you'll realize
That there was something...something in my eyes.

Hey Joe...do you know how hard I try not to call?
And I tried even harder not to fall, but I have.
And Joe...do you know how much I've cried?
And how this is killing me inside?  I hope you're glad.

See I waited a while for you
And I gave in despite what I knew.
It's so hard for me to let you go,
But I guess I have to.  Don't I Joe?
