Lyrics: Doris Day

I saw her wait, waitng at the bus stop
Watching as her tears dropped
Like pennies down a well
Oh well
We can drink until the sun comes up
I never let a good thing go
So I'll stay here if you're not leaving

I am on your side
This house is empty
We could cross the line
And we could make a big mistake
The silence breaks and you hear me say
"Don't go, don't go so far away"
(You don't have to go)
"Don't go, don't go so far away"
You don't have to go

I saw your man, fast car and a dark suntan
You said he's in a punk-rock band
But baby, punk-rock's dead
Oh well
We can drink till you forget about him
It's not like he waits up for you
I'm sure he'd do the same thing too

But I am on your side
This house is empty
We could cross the line
And we could make a big mistake
The silence breaks and you hear me say
"Don't go, don't go so far away"
(You don't have to go)
"Don't go, don't go so far away"
You don't have to

I knew it was a crime
I did it anyway
I tell him we're like magnets
I tell him I feel no shame
If I crawl into your blood
Can I sleep under your skin?
C'mon let me in
Don't make me wait

I am on your side
This house is empty
We could cross the line
And we could be making a big mistake
The silence breaks and you hear me say

"Don't go, don't go so far away" [x5]

You don't have to go
You don't have to go
