don't wanna leave you now

Singer:john hiatt

i woke up a day late and a dollar short

thank god i was wrapped up in your arms

i don't wanna read the morning news or watch the weather report

i'd rather be grateful for your charms

i done a lotta things baby

oh

that didn't make me proud

honey

i don't wanna leave you now

honey

i don't wanna leave you now

honey

i don't wanna leave you now

honey

i don't wanna leave you now

last night you said you looked up to me

nowhere to hide

that's when i lose control

i kinda think it's like you see right through me

i got no clothes on when you're lookin' into my soul

i left my eardrums beating

oh

with the roaring of the crowd

honey

i don't wanna leave you now

honey

i don't wanna leave you now

honey

i don't wanna leave you now

honey

i don't wanna leave you now

i know i gotta go out and face the music

gotta stand up and play

i'm lucky as hell to do what i love

but nothin lasts forever

baby

not even the song

though you're the most beautiful one i could ever think of

honey

i don't wanna leave you now

honey

i don't wanna leave you now

honey

i don't wanna leave you now

honey

i don't wanna leave you now

all this time i've been comin' and goin'

it's like i'm in and out of consciousness

i awaken from dreams sometimes without knowin
