I called you on the phone to tell you
Without you, I can't sleep at all
You say you want me, but you're scared to death
It wasn't long ago she broke your heart
I know, I know, babe

But can't you see I'm different, baby?
Can't you see I'm different?
I'm not gonna hurt you, baby
Wait a second, listen
Please don't make me pay for her crimes, I
Can't serve time for her lies
Please don't turn this picket fence into a gate
Just wait, just wait a second, listen
Can't you see I'm different?
Can't you see I'm different?

There's people round this town that whisper
There's two of us who play guitar
Sometimes I wonder if you miss her
Sometimes I think I see the scar
She cut you deep, and I see it

But can't you see I'm different, baby?
Can't you see I'm different?
I'm not gonna hurt you, baby
Wait a second, listen
Please don't make me pay for her crimes, I
Can't serve time for her lies
Please don't turn this picket fence into a gate
Just wait, just wait a second, listen
Can't you see I'm different?
Ooh, oh, ooh

I know, I know, I know
(I know, I know, I know)
I know, I know, I know
(I know, I know, I know)

But can't you see I'm different, baby?
Can't you see I'm different?
I'm not gonna hurt you, baby
Wait a second, listen
Please don't make me pay for her crimes, I
Can't serve time for her lies
Please don't turn this picket fence into a gate
Just wait, just wait a second, listen
Can't you see I'm different?
Can't you see I'm different?
Oh, ooh
