Oh no, don't go It's hours till dawn And there's no one who'd rather be with you I know you know other girls like me I let you take my love Knowing you don't love me But if I could reach you some way If I knew the magic it would take To love you good enough on the outside And make you feel it on the inside Maybe I could make you stay If I could reach you The dark is getting light And you're dressed to go And never said a word about tomorrow But if I could reach you some way If I knew the magic it would take To love you good enough on the outside And make you feel it on the inside Maybe I could make you stay.
