Put my hand out
But you don’t take it
I say, Just this once
Try to fake it
Try to pretend that you care
Try to force yourself to share
It’s not so tough to act as if
As if we’re in love
You know the riff
I can’t reach you
I can’t reach you
I can’t reach you
No matter what I do
I try to kiss you
But you rebuff me
When I ask why
You try to bluff me
It’s been so long
Since we last made it
Whatever the cost
I think I paid it
Desperation
Is setting in
I forget what it’s like
To touch your skin
I’m not horny
I’m just lonely
Looking for my
One and only
It’s not so tough to act as if
As if we’re in love
You know the riff
