Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Why can't it wait till morning?
We can talk about it then
'Cause I had a drink too many
And my troubles, well I ain't got any
Why can't it wait till daylight?
'Cause things will seem so much clearer then
I'm tired and my eyes are weary
And I just want you lyin' here with me
[Verse 2]
So close your eyes
I'll make it oh so nice
[Verse 3]
Now I don't wanna think about what we've said
No, and I don't wanna know why we hurt ourselves
'Cause I just wanna hold you so close to me
You know it'll take care of itself
And I wanna sleep, I wanna sleep
Let me sleep
[Verse 4]
Why can't it wait until next time?
'Cause that time may never come
Stay here with your arms around me
'Cause you're goin' nowhere without me
[Verse 5]
So close your eyes
I'll make it ooh so nice
For you
I'll make it nice for you
[Verse 6]
Ooh, let's wait until mornin'
I'll make it so nice, so nice, so nice
With me and you
Let's wait
I don't wanna
I don't wanna
Get everything
[Verse 7]
I wanna wait, I wanna wait
Probably can/can't wait
Give me one good reason, that we can't leave it
I don't wanna talk about it
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more
These things are better left unsaid
