You must know why, <br />I like our nights of leisure. <br />The moment you sigh... <br />I turn the lights, <br />Down low! <br /> <br />Then you say to me, <br />'You've gotta gotta go! ' <br />Don't you know... <br />I've come to be with you? <br /> <br />Then you say, <br />'You've gotta gotta go! ' <br />Don't you know... <br />I want to stay. <br />I've come such a long way! <br /> <br />You must know why, <br />My time with you is treasured. <br />I want you in my life. <br />For more than just what is pleasured. <br /> <br />But then you say no... <br />'You've gotta gotta go! ' <br />Don't you know, <br />I'm here to be with you? <br /> <br />Please don't say, <br />'You've gotta gotta go! ' <br />Let's try to forget, <br />All regrets we once kept. <br /> <br />Don't say, <br />'You've gotta gotta go! ' <br />Let's start out fresh, <br />And build on love that's left. <br />Don't you know, <br />I've learned a few lessons too! <br />Don't you know, <br />I'm here to be with you?<br /><br />Lawrence S.
