I hold your hand
Talk so soft
And try to keep
From drifting off
Your time's not mine to take
It's not my place to keep you awake
You've got a long drive home in the morning
I pray that dawn would never break
Well girl, I've known loneliness
And girl, I've known pain
But none like knowing
That I won't hold you again
And that all the loves that came before
They just seem like a game
Well, I'm a done deal darling
I'm never gonna be the same
So go on home
To where he waits
There ain't no villains in this story, darling
Just all the wrong dates
And if I don't call
It's just self-defence
He's never gonna let you go, no no
Not if he's got any sense
But girl I've known happiness
My heart it could burst
And knowing that you felt it too
It only makes it worse
But I know that out there somewhere
In a fairer universe
We were a done deal, darling
And you met me first
Hold your hand
I'll talk so soft
And try to keep
From drifting off
Ooh, ooh
But girl, I've known loneliness
And girl, I've known pain
But none like knowing
That I won't hold you again
And that all the loves that came before
They just seem like a game
Well, I'm a done deal darling
I'm never gonna be the same
I'm never gonna be the same
I'm never gonna be the same
