Lyrics
You needed it when I was away
And no matter what I say You’ll never forget when I wasn’t there so Why should I care? I’m young but I know that I’m aroused
You know that I care You should have been there You know that I care You should have been there
It doesn’t matter where I have gone I just can’t afford to Pay for all the mistakes that you have made It’s about time I was paid
I’m young but I know that I’m aroused
You know that I care You should have been there You know that I care You should have been there
You know that I care You should have been there You know that I care You should have been there
You know that I care You should have been there You know that I care You should have been there
The Muse EP version of the song lacks the last chorus, is extended and features the extra lyrics:
You...
We really need to change it And turn it over
Cause you should have been there When I was aroused Cause you should have been there When I was aroused
You know that I care You should have been there You know that I care You should have been there
You know that I care You should have been there You know that I care You should have been there
You know that I care You should have been there You know that I care You should have been there
