[Verse 1]
I call you up, you pick up
You call my bluff, on the cards of love
You hold to close, your hands to your chest
I can't read your eyes but I confess
It's lonely far from you
Even when you're right by me
It's only why I wait for you
Take my hand, yeah

[Chorus]
Why do I beg like a child for your candy?
Why do I come after you like I do
I love you, whatever you are I swear
You'll be my angel, you

[Verse 2]
I play my cards best I can
But I lose my luck when you're not here
My darling heart, won't you please give in
I may be strong but I want you back again
When you're not here it's hard to pretend
It's all alright again
When you're not here, love
It's hard to pretend, it's all alright still
[Chorus]
Why do I beg like a child for your candy?
Why do I come after you like I do
I love you, whatever you are I swear
You'll be my angel, you

[Bridge]
Watch the deck
Count your cards
Makes no sense
That I'm always losing
When you're gone

[Chorus]
Why do I beg like a child for your candy?
Why do I come after you like I do
I love you, whatever you are I swear
You'll be my angel, you
