She can tell you now Now that nobody's around Who'll become her lover when you're gone Heard people say that she's giving it away Who're you to think that she's wrong You'll thank God and Jesus Christ That you hadn't acted nice Hardly ever have to walk away Take what you can And you'll be her biggest fan Lie about it every single day You'll thank God and Jesus Christ That you hadn't acted nice Hardly ever have to walk away You'll say goodnight and God bless To the one you love the best Pins you down and told you where to stay Stay I think I will Yeah when nothing beats the thrill of loving you I love you If I can make you care Run my fingers through your hair Tell you how it feels I look down Just because I've been across And lost Doesn't mean it wasn't there I love you like I did When I was just a kid You can have your love affair I can tell you now Now that nobody's around Who'll become her lover when you're gone Heard people say that she's giving it away Don't you think it's wrong I can tell you now Now that nobody's around Who'll become my lover when you're gone Heard people say that I'm giving it away Don't you think it's wrong
