I don't know if you'll understand
 But I'm hopin' that you'll follow me down to the waterway
 I'll be there if you change your mind
 Listening to the ticking of the hands on a clock working overtime

 If it's the last night it oughta be left for lovin', girl
 If it's the last night it oughta be left for lovin', girl
 If it's the last night it oughta be left for lovin', girl

 Now you're here standing next to me
 I've seen your face on every girl that I've held since you went away
 It's getting late and I have to know
 I'm mending the wings of a heart that was broken not so long ago

 If it's the last night it oughta be left for lovin', girl
 If it's the last night it oughta be left for lovin', girl
 If it's the last night it oughta be left for lovin', girl
 [bad word] break]

 If it's the last night it oughta be left for lovin', girl
[repeats 5x]
