Pale Shelter by Tears For Fears

How can I be sure, when your intrusion's my illusion?
How can I be sure when all the time you change my mind?
I ask for more and more, how can I be sure?

When you don't give me love, you give me pale shelter
You don't give me love, you give me cold hands
And I can't operate on this failure
When all I wanna be is, completely in command

How can I be sure, for all you say you keep me waiting?
How can I be sure when all you do is see me through?
I ask for more and more, how can I be sure?

When you don't give me love, you give me pale shelter
You don't give me love, you give me cold hands
And I can't operate on this failure
When all I wanna be is, completely in command

I've been here before, there is no why, no need to try
I thought you had it all, I'm calling you, I'm calling you
I ask for more and more
(Ask for more and more)
How can I be sure?
(How can I be?)

When you don't give me love, you give me pale shelter
You don't give me love, you give me cold hands
And I can't operate on this failure
When all I wanna be is, completely in command
(Completely in command)

You don't give me love, you don't give me love
You don't give me love, you don't give me love
You don't give me love, you don't give me love
