oh i¡¯m waiting in the storm, ask me how i feel 
when things are going wrong, why don¡¯t you ask me how i feel 
the night is awful cold, ask me how i feel 
you¡¯re much too loose to hold, why don¡¯t you ask me how i feel 
 i close my eyes to follow you 
to my surprise you¡¯re so untrue 
and i¡¯m crying, i¡¯m dying 
 oh i¡¯m waiting in the storm, ask me how i feel 
when you keep me hanging on, why don¡¯t you ask me how i feel 
the waters run so deep, ask me how i feel 
when i don¡¯t get any sleep, why don¡¯t you ask me how i feel 
 and when you¡¯re down you lean on me 
you¡¯re a fool, too blind to see 
that i¡¯m crying, i¡¯m dying 
 oh i¡¯m waiting in the storm, why don¡¯t you ask me how i feel 
what the hell is going on, why don¡¯t you ask me how i feel 
when you stay out late at night, ask me how i feel 
when you think that i¡¯m uptight, why don¡¯t you ask me how i feel oh 
 you don¡¯t treat me tender no matter what i do 
but i'm the great pretender 
I¡¯m waiting in the storm, ask me how i feel 
what the hell is going on? 
when you stay out late at night 
you never ask me how i feel, you just say that i'm uptight 
when you're down, i do for you 
and now i find that you're untrue
