You come home late from work, baby
You wonder why it ain't on the table
After the day that I've had
I don't believe I'm able

You give me every little reason in the book
But there's one thing that I think you've overlooked
You say you're tired; well, so am I
Baby, you've got to try and

Meet halfway--or we ain't gonna make it, baby
Meet halfway--if you want to get it right
Meet halfway--'cause I ain't gonna take it, baby
Meet halfway--in the middle of the night

Our love is kind of stalled, baby
But it ain't about the sex
I'd trade the roses and the negligees
If we could just connect

I go deeper when you look into my eyes
There's a place where neither one of us can hide
And it's up to us to reinvent the game
Love it when you call my name and

Meet halfway--ain't no doubt about it, baby
Meet halfway--and we're halfway home
Meet halfway--got to scream and shout it, baby
Meet me halfway--and I'll shake you to the bone
