The Time – I Don't Wanna Leave You lyrics

People say you run around, I don't even care.
I could never hold you down, I don't even dare.
I just wanna play your game, no matter what the rules.
I've met an awful lot of dames, but not quite as bad as you.

Let me try to love you, I know I could.
One night to hold you, just ain't no good.

[Chorus:]
I don't wanna leave you, I don't wanna go.
Can't you see I need you? Girl, I need you so.

I will be your doctor babe, I'll make you feel alright.
I've got something to keep you warm, on a cold and lonely night, now turn out the light.
I will never tie you down, 'cause I know you wanna be free, so free.
Say you'll let me come around, say you wanna be with me.

Let me try to love you, I know I could.
One night to hold you just ain't no good.

(repeat chorus)

All I wonna do, is make sweet love to you.
Now you wanna leave me. What am I supposed to do?
Can't you hang past to? That was 12 o'clock at night.
Why you wanna leave so soon? Girl, you know it ain't right.

(repeat chorus)

I don't wanna leave you, I don't wanna go.

Let me try to love you, I know I could.
One night to hold you, just ain't no good.
I don't wanna leave you.

(repeat chorus)
