Lyrics

[Verse 1]

How can I stay away?

[Verse 2]

I tried your mouth and I can't come back

So little time and I'm way off track

I can't stay away, away, away, away for one night

[Verse 3]

Hey, wherever I go I still see your face

So little time, there's no time to waste

I can't stay away, away, away, away for one night

[Verse 4]

Hey, I don't know where your head is now

I've been only thinkin 'bout us

(Thinkin 'bout us)

[Verse 5]

Don't know what your hands are doin'

I've been only thinkin 'bout touch

Touch, touch, touch me

[Verse 6]

I can't take much more of your hesitating

Both our hands speak for us and complicate it

My home is your body

How can I stay away?

(Away, away, away, away)

[Verse 7]

If my love's too strong for you, walk away

But I can't make this wrong when I see your face

My home is your body

How can I stay away?

(Away, away, away, away)

[Verse 8]

The city's so hard when you sleep alone

I need your hands when you drive me home

I can't stay away, away, away, away for one night

[Verse 9]

Hey, I don't know where your head is now

I've been only thinkin 'bout us

(Thinkin 'bout us)

[Verse 10]

Don't know what your hands are doin'

I've been only thinkin 'bout touch

Touch, touch, touch me

[Verse 11]

I can't take much more of your hesitating

Both our hands speak for us and complicate it

My home is your body

How can I stay away?

(Away, away, away, away)

[Verse 12]

If my love's too strong for you, walk away

But I can't make this wrong when I see your face

My home is your body

How can I stay away?

(Away, away, away, away)

[Verse 13]

How can I stay away?

How can I stay away?

[Verse 14]

Don't know where your head is now

I've been only thinkin 'bout us

[Verse 15]

Don't know what your hands are doin'

I've been only thinkin 'bout touch

Touch, touch, touch me

[Verse 16]

I can't take much more of your hesitating

Both our hands speak for us and complicate it

My home is your body

How can I stay away?

(Away, away, away, away)

[Verse 17]

If my love's too strong for you, walk away

But I can't make this wrong when I see your face

My home is your body

How can I stay away?

(Away, away, away, away)

[Verse 18]

How can I stay away?
