Please, won't you go away?
I don't want to go out today
Please, won't you go away?
I don't want to come out to play
My life will never be perfect
My mind will never be clear
Well, I hope you find what you're looking for
And I pray you keep it near
I asked her "Baby, where are you at?"
And I nearly had a heart attack
I asked her "Baby, do you like that?"
And she lets out a little laugh
All those talks we had at night
Does it matter who was wrong and who was right?
I used to worry I'd fail you
But here they want to impale you
I asked her "Baby, do you like where you are?"
She said "I like it, but it's pretty far
From home and everything I know"
I say "Go back, baby. Go, go, go"
I say "Go back, baby. Go, go, go"
She tells me "No, baby. No, no, no
If I don't stay, then I'll never get anywhere"
As she puts another pin in her hair
I say "Go back! Go back! Go back! Go back! Go back!"
I say "Go back! Go back! Go back! Go back! Go back!"
I say "Go back"
I say "Go back"
