Can't Stay Away From You lyrics

"The time flies, when you're having fun"

I heard somebody say

But if all I've been is fun

Then baby, let me go

Don't wanna be in your way

And I don't wanna be your second choice

Don't wanna be just your friend

You keep telling me that you're not in love

You wanna throw it all away

But I can't stay away from you

I don't wanna let you go

And though it's killing me, that's true

There's just some things I can't control

Your love is slipping through my hands

And though I've heard it all before

I know you're telling me the truth

I know it's just no use

But I can't stay away from you

Hold on to every bit of hope

That's all I ever do

Hoping you might change your mind

And call me up to say

How much you need me too

And though you're leaving me no other choice

Than to turn and walk away

Look over your shoulder, I'll be there

You can count on me to stay

'Cause I can't stay away from you

I don't wanna let you go

And though it's killing me, that's true

There's just some things I can't control

Your love is slipping through my hands

And though I've heard it all before

I know you're telling me the truth

I know it's just no use

But I can't stay away from you

I know you're telling me the truth

I know it's just no use

But I can't stay away from you
