Lyrics

4am

Terry turns, he just cannot sleep

From the ceaseless noise out on the street

Its too hot, it's too late

Theres nothing he can do but wait

Terry says I'm going nowhere fast

Nobody hears, theres no-one there

Julie wakes to find herself alone

Which comes as no suprise, no suprise

No suprise to be on her own

Its four in the morning

Why don't you call me

Im sorry I hurt you

I still want you back

Its four in the morning

Julie wakes to find herself alone

Which comes as no suprise, no suprise

No suprise to be on her own

Its four in the morning

Why don't you call me

Im sorry I hurt you

I still want you back

Its four in the morning

Waiting, I'm so tired of waiting

Its four in the morning

Why don't you call me

Im sorry I hurt you

I still want you back

Its four in the morning

I know what you're thinking

You're alone now

Im sorry I hurt you

I still want you back

Its four in the morning

Why don't you call me

Im so tired of waiting

I still want you back
