If you love me
Let me know it
If you hate me
Don’t

To be my friend
You have to prove it
‘Cause it’s so easy
Just to lose it

Don’t leave me
On your doorstep
Don’t leave me
In the cold

Let me in
Open your arms
Keep me safe
And warm

All I need is one
Who will protect
Love
And care

I’ve been pushed
Out on the doorstep
One too many times
Before

Will you be the one
Who sees me?
The one who wants
Me in?

I don’t not wish
For pity
I do not want
Fake love

All I want is
One to hug
One to care
And one to love
