Producer for bonnie: peter oxendale
Recorded in 1988 as a b-side for the single 'notes from america'. lyrics taken from careful listening.

When i wake up, in the morning
And i turn around and you're not there
Oh it hurts to know you're still so far away
Though i know deep inside you still care
And i want you, ooh, really want you
Oh, anyway and anyhow
I've waited such a long time for your sweet love
And i need you back home with me now

'cause it's not enough to say that you love me
And it's not enough to say that you care
And it's not enough when you say that you need me
If i wake up and still you're not there
And it's not enough to say that you love me
It's not enough to say that you care
And it's not enough when you say that you need me
If i wake up and still you're not there
Oh do you care?

Oh, please believe me, it's not easy
When you're so many miles from home
Oh i need you here to hold and comfort me
I'm so tired of being alone

'cause it's not enough to say that you love me
And it's not enough to say that you care
And it's not enough when you say that you need me
If i wake up and still you're not there

You gotta try to understand
That a woman like me just needs a man to love
(oh, yes she does)
I know you love me loud and clear but if you're not here
It's not enough, you know...

It's not enough to say that you love me
And it's not enough to say that you care
And it's not enough to say that you need me
If i wake up and still you're not there
It's not enough to say that you love me
It's not enough to say that you care
And it's not enough when you say that you need me
If i wake up and still you're not there
If i wake up and still you're not there, oh
Oh no, no, no, it's not enough
Oh no, no, no, it's not enough
