it's too dark
just the passing cars
illuminate the room
and it's harder every time I see you
and then when you leave
I'm wondering when
would be too soon
but you ain't mine to miss
and it's time we put a
line down in the dust
I know what friendship is
and it sure doesn't feel like us

go home to her
while you still can
it's much too late now
for drafting up new plans
your woman's got an honest man
I always thought
so don't do nothing now
to make me take it back

well I'm sure
that you've seen
a girl go flush before
but I don't want to get touched
I don't want to be moved
I don't want to think much
I just want to get through
with my hands in my pockets
while we can let's just stop
already have my own problems
I'm not trying to be sainted,
I don't need to be good
I'm just trying to stay blameless

go home to her
while you still can
it's much too late now
for drafting up new plans
your woman's got an honest man
I always thought
so don't do nothing now
to make me take it back

I've seen our better natures
flashing like a pair of flipping coins
and I know it's getting late cause
cause I can see exactly what's been [bad word] through your mind
I don't pretend it's easy
I like it less than you
it's been a long time lonely
I've got less to lose
but here's a chance to do right
this is the stuff of real life
let's just let this one slide
say our good byes

go home to her
while you still can
it's much too late now
for drafting up new plans
your woman's got an honest man
I always thought
so don't do nothing now
to make me take it back

darling go home
