You call me baby
And I sleep on the right side of the bed
And you love me you love me you love me
You’ve got a smile that I keep
In my left side pocket
And this feels like a long time coming
This love is soft and it’s
hard to keep it all inside of me
And I know you get scared
Because sometimes his lack of love pushes its way back up into my throat and I push you away and you don’t get that
I’m just begging you not to go away
And I get scared
Cause for me love hasn’t always meant staying
With him love meant trying to fit myself into a mold that I didn’t belong in
And I see you with other girls whose smiles come easier and whose love comes nicer
And i get scared that one night you’ll want to have the right side of the bed
to yourself again
But this love is soft and
it’s meant to last
I’m here to stay if you are
I’m here to stay if you are.

You call me baby
And I sleep on the right side of the bed
And you love me you love me you love me
You’ve got a smile that I keep
In my left side pocket
And this feels like a long time coming
This love is soft and it’s
hard to keep it all inside of me
And I know you get scared
Because sometimes his lack of love pushes its way back up into my throat and I push you away and you don’t get that
I’m just begging you not to go away
And I get scared
Cause for me love hasn’t always meant staying
With him love meant trying to fit myself into a mold that I didn’t belong in
And I see you with other girls whose smiles come easier and whose love comes nicer
And i get scared that one night you’ll want to have the right side of the bed
to yourself again
But this love is soft and
it’s meant to last
I’m here to stay if you are
I’m here to stay if you are.
