Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What would I give
For just a few moments
What would I give
Just to have you near
[Verse 2]
Tell me you won't try
To slip away somehow
Oh I need you darling
I want to see you right now
[Verse 3]
Can you slip away
Slip away
Slip away
Oh, I need you so
[Verse 4]
Oh
How sweet it is
When you steal it darling
Let me tell you
How sweet it is
[Verse 5]
Now I know it's wrong
The things I asked you to do
But please believe me darling
I don't mean to hurt you
[Verse 6]
But could you slip away
Without him knowing you're gone
Then we could meet somewhere
Somewhere where we both are not known
[Verse 7]
Can you slip away
Slip away
Slip away
Oh, I need you so
[Verse 8]
Yes, I do
I need you so
Oh yes, I need you so
Slip away
[Verse 9]
(Ooh slip away)
Why don't you slip away
(Ooh slip away)
Why don't you slip away, honey
(Ooh slip away)
Why don't you slip away
(Ooh slip away)
[Verse 10]
Just can you, slip away
Slip away
Slip away
Oh, I need you so
[Verse 11]
Oh can you just slip away, baby
I'd like to see you now
Right now darling
'Cause I got to
I've got to see you
Yeah
Yeah
[Verse 12]
Slip away
Slip away
Slip away
Yeah
[Verse 13]
(Ooh slip away)
Slip away
Yeah
(Ooh slip away)
Slip away
(Ooh slip away)
Why don't you slip away
(Ooh slip away)
You're all I need slip away
(Ooh slip away)
(Ooh slip away)
Slip away
(Ooh slip away)
Slip away
(Ooh slip away)
Slip away
(Ooh slip away)
Ooh slip away
(Ooh slip away)
Yeah, slip away
(Ooh slip away)
Why don't you slip away
(Ooh slip away)
Slip away
