Sleep Tight (I'll be gone in the Morning)

Hey baby, are you still up, I wanna tell something

There's this feeling, keep on coming, I wanna let go and stop pretending

You see, I love being around, with ya by my side

When we dine, then we roll and we ride

But I don't see the warmth of your smile no more

Not feelin same love I've been having before

I'm not sendin ya out of the door

It's just you're my star no more

When I'm all alone and you call on my phone

I answer it but am not talkin on my own

You see, I'm doing this for us not to get a lotta hurt

You a fine lady, I don't want ya to get hurt

I may love you, that's why I want you to have the best

That's not me, I'm just a guy like the rest

Not as rich as bill, Not as pretty like Apollo

I don't wear a suit, just an old sweaty polo

 

I don't see us living together tomorrow

I wanna see you happy though even if it'll bring me sorrow

To break ya heart is not my intention

To let ya go is a **** hard decision

You're a **** good girl, that's hard to forget

Leavin ya is the **** i will soon regret

But honey, it's not workin out, I know you know it

I'm not happy no more, I hope you saw it

You've taught me how to love and how to show it

Hope I made ya happy for never again will I do it

Baby girl, forgive me for what I'm doin

Ain't doin' this for nothin', you'll know tomorrow morning

And I don't want to say goodbye, Don't want any tears from ya eye

Never again will you cry, Just think that the blame is all mine

This is a tough time for me, ***

Forgive me for what I've done

 

Tomorrow morning, you won't see me lying in this bed

I'm going away, to somewhere high and quiet instead

Though I'll be leaving, don't go on believing

In ya mem'ry, In ya heart, Hope I'll be living.
