Sonny

(album: Tonight I'm Yours - 1981)

Sonny, I've been missing you tonight
Sonny, something deep inside me has died
I gave up the purest love
A woman could give to a man
Everything I ever had
Has slipped right through my hands

'Cause she walks like you
She talks like you
She feels like you
But she ain't you
She smiles like you
Cries like you
Denies like you
But she'll never be you

Sonny, she don't move me anymore
Sonny, I've never hurt this way before
She's trying hard to replace you
But there's something she'll never know
She can borrow all your style
But she'll never possess your soul

'Cause she acts like you
Attacks like you
She cracks like you
But she ain't you
She needs like you
Pleads like you
Feels like you
But she'll never be you

Sonny
Sonny
I'm down on my knees
Sonny won't you come back, come back
Come back to me please?

Someday, we'll hide the pain away, and
Sonny, I know that, that we can laugh again
I should have known and had more sense
Sinking to a childish pride
All I got was your looking glass
Without your heart inside

'Cause she craves like you
Behaves like you
And lays like you
But she ain't you
She plays like you
Prays like you
Does everything like you
But she ain't you

She hides like you
Denies like you
Sighs like you
But she ain't you
Sonny
Sonny
Sonny won't you come back
Come back to me
Sonny
Sonny
Sonny, oh
Oh
