i don't want you to go

you're too hard to handle

scandal after scandal

you must think i'm naive

i don't want you to go

but i need you to leave

it's wild alibis and those outrageous lies

you expect me to believe

i don't want you to go

but i need you to leave

well

i've thought about it and i've made up my mind

it's time we call it quits

you know you may be fun for saturday night

but the rest of the week is the pits

measure what we have between the good and the bad

and there's just too much uncertainty

i don't want you to go

but i need you to leave

because you placed the blame on the pink champagne

for dancin' naked on new year's eve

i don't want you to go

but i need you to leave

i'll buy a one-way ticket to destination - you pick it

anywhere from tulsa to tel aviv

i don't want you to go

but i need you to leave

well

i've thought about it and i've made up my mind

it's time we call it quits

you know you may be fun for saturday night

but the rest of the week is the pits

anytime you're nice

i can't help but think twice

there's always something up your sleeve

i don't want you to go

but i need you to leave

i don't want you to go

but i need you to leave

aw yeah.
