Jack's Mannequin - Doris Day lyrics

rate me

I saw her wait, waiting at the bus stop

Watching as her tears dropped

Like pennies down a well, oh well

We can drink until the Sun comes up

I never let a good thing go

So I'll stay here if you're not leaving

I am on your side

This house is empty

We could cross the line

Yeah we could make a big mistake

The silence breaks and you hear me say

"Don't go, don't go, so far away"

(You don't have to go)

"Don't go, don't go, so far away"

You don't have to go.

I saw your man; a fast car and a dark sun tan

You said he's in a punk rock band

But baby, punk rock's dead

Oh well

We could drink 'til you forget about him

It's not like he waits up for you

I'm sure he'd do the same thing too

But I am on your side

This house is empty

We could cross the line

Yeah we could make a big mistake

The silence breaks and you hear me say

"Don't go, don't go, so far away"

(You don't have to go)

"Don't go, don't go, so far away"

You don't have to

I knew it was a crime

I did it anyway

I tell 'em we're like magnets,

I tell 'em I feel no shame

If I crawl into your blood

Can I sleep under your skin?

Come on let me in, don't make me wait

I am on your side

This house is empty

We could cross the line

Yeah we could be making a big mistake

The silence breaks and you hear me say

"Don't go, don't go, so far away"

(You don't have to go)

"Don't go, don't go, so far away"

(You don't have to go)

"Don't go, don't go, so far away"

(You don't have to)

"Don't go, don't go, so far away"

(You don't have to)

"Don't go, don't go, so far away"

You don't have to go

You don't have to go.
