Aldrig mer aldrig mer
Ska jag behöva känna så igen
Aldrig mer aldrig mer
Ska du få mig i tårar så igen
Så många gånger har jag öppnat
Mitt innersta för dig
Så många gånger har du skrattat
Och lekt ett tag med mig
Vaknar upp vaknar upp
Men du är inte här ivkäll
Vaknar upp vaknar upp
Du kan väl komma hit är du snäll
För jag är ensam
Som så många gånger förr
Ja jag är ensam
Och jag väntar vid din dörr
Mina tårar dom rinner
Och mitt hjärta det brinner
Blott för dig
Vad du tänker vad du tänker
Kommer jag nog aldrig att förstå
När du pratar när du pratar
Vad är det du säger till mig dp
Nu vill jag veta varför
Du vill att jag skall gå
Se'n när jag är borta
