[Intro]
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 1]
Oh baby
Can we sit down and talk for a minute
You know that we've got a few things
We need to work out, oh yeah
You can spare me all your sorry details
Had enough of all your lies
And my silent cries
[Pre-Chorus]
Hurry, hurry, quick, quick
I need a man who's gonna do me right
Hurry, hurry, quick, quick
Somebody who will surely satisfy
When I think of your love
It only makes me stop and wonder
Truly why, oh why
Oh, why would you make me cry, oh baby
[Chorus]
5 miles to empty
My heart is running low, whoa
I need a good man to fill me up
I need a good man to give me love, babe
5 miles to empty
My heart is running low, whoa
I need a good man to fill me up
I need a good man to give me love
[Verse 2]
We spend so much time
We're always fighting desperately trying for love
We know won't last much longer, no, no, but baby
Such a waste of time when we're playing, though
Some are saying that we won't last much longer than a day
No, no, no, no, no
[Pre-Chorus]
Hurry, hurry, quick, quick
I need a man who's gonna do me right
Hurry, hurry, quick, quick
Somebody who is gonna satisfy my needs, yeah
When I think of your love
It only makes me stop and wonder
Truly why, oh why
Oh, why would you make me cry, oh baby
[Chorus]
5 miles to empty
My heart is running low, whoa
I need a good man to fill me up
I need a good man to give me love, babe
5 miles to empty
My heart is running low, whoa
I need a good man to fill me up
I need a good man to give me love
[Bridge]
5 miles to empty
My heart is running low
5 miles to empty
My heart is running low
[Pre-Chorus]
Hurry, hurry, quick, quick
Oh, I need a man who will promise to always do right
Hurry, hurry, quick, quick
Oh, looking for someone who's gonna satisfy
When I think of your love
It only makes me stop and wonder
Truly why, oh why
Why would you make me cry, oh baby
[Chorus]
5 miles to empty
My heart is running low, whoa
I need a good man to fill me up
I need a good man to give me love, babe
5 miles to empty
My heart is running low, whoa
I need a good man to fill me up
I need a good man to give me love, babe
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
