I heard you're gonna leave me
I've known it for awhile
I wasn't naive to the news
My mind just couldn't walk a mile
I only see you with me
'Cause I know the things you like
I know all that you believe
And all the plans of your life
So take a minute to understand me
To re-evaluate your mind
I'm everything you need
And in this world a good man is hard to find
And I know you miss me
When all is said and done
You'll think about this day
And then you'll realize I was the one
Chorus:
You know that all you need is in me and
You know that my love's all right and
Baby you know I can't be denied girl
You know, ohh you know, you know
Gave you all a man could give ya,
Made sure I found the time,
To keep it all together,
But the way you're treating me ain't right (can't understand) it
Why you're doing me the way you're doing,
Do you enjoy to see our love fade away
Can't face the world without ya
Can't even sleep at night
Gave you all that treasured
And I tried to love you will all my might
And I know you'll miss me when all is said and done
You'll think about this day and realize I was the one
You knowI smoke a cigarette
As I wait in the bath
And I wait for you
For an hour and a half
And I go to the window
Where the sky falls down in rains
And I look across the river
Where they dance the night away
I watch the couples
On the corner of town
Men dressed in black tie
The ladies in gowns
A taxi pulls up
Drives them across the street,
Takes them to a place
Where they dance the night away
Dance the night away
Dance the night away
Dance the night away
I crawl across the bed
Playing the radio low
Trying to forget
What I already know
And I want to sleep
But the song never ends
It comes from a place
Where they dance the night away
I reach in the drawer
And I take out respect
It doctors the sickness
I took years to perfect
And I feel sweet sleep
Like the shadows on a charm
Moves to my brain
Where I dance the night away
Dance the night away
Dance the night away
Dance the night away
Dance the night away
Dance the . . .
