I Don't Want You To Go Lyrics
Carolyn Dawn Johnson
Lyrics
Monday mornin' is such a rush
Here it is again sneakin' up on us
Uh-huh-huh, yeah
This is the part you know I don't like
We say goodbye and then we kiss goodnight
Uh-huh-huh, yeah
I know it's one o'clock
And we said you'd be gone by ten
So much for those eight hours
I swore that I'd get in
I know I should get some sleep
I'm at the beginnin' of another long week
But I don't want you to go
No, I don't want you to go
I guess another minute won't do no harm
Why not spend it in each other's arms
'Cause I don't want you to go
No, I don't want you to go
We always say just one more kiss
But it always seems to never end like this
Uh-huh-huh, yeah
A few dozen then a couple more
Before we know it's after four
Uh-huh-huh, yeah
I know tomorrow my best friend will be my coffee cup
'Cause here we go again
Watchin' the sun come up
Yeah, I know I should get some sleep
I'm at the beginnin' of another long week
But I don't want you to go
No, I don't want you to go
I guess another minute won't do no harm
Why not spend it in each other's arms
'Cause I don't want you to go
No baby, I don't want you to go, hey
I know tomorrow my best friend will be my coffee cup
'Cause here we go again
Watchin' the sun come up, yeah
I know I should get some sleep
I'm at the beginnin' of another long week
But I don't want you to go
No, I don't want you to go
I guess another minute won't do no harm
Why not spend it in each other's arms
'Cause I don't want you to go
No baby, I don't want you to go, hey
I don't want you to go
I don't want you to go
I don't want you to go
I don't want you to go
