Lyrics

[Verse 1]

"Time flies when you're having fun"

I heard somebody say

But if all I've been is fun

Then baby, let me go

Don't wanna be in your way

[PreChorus]

And I don't wanna be your second choice

Don't wanna be just your friend

You keep telling me that you're not in love

You wanna throw it all away

[Chorus]

But I can't stay away from you

I don't wanna let you go

And though it's killing me, that's true

There's just some things I can't control

Your love is slipping through my hands

And though I've heard it all before

I know you're telling me the truth

I know it's just no use

But I can't stay away from you

[Verse 2]

Hold on to every bit of hope

That's all I ever do

Hoping you might change your mind

And call me up to say

How much you need me too

[PreChorus]

And though you're leaving me no other choice

Than to turn and walk away

Look over your shoulder, I'll be there

You can count on me to stay

[Chorus]

'Cause I can't stay away from you

I don't wanna let you go

And though it's killing me, that's true

There's just some things I can't control

Your love is slippin' through my hands

And though I've heard it all before

I know you're telling me the truth

I know it's just no use

But I can't stay away from you

[Outro]

I know you're telling me the truth

I know it's just no use

But I can't stay away from you
