Lyrics & Translation

[English]

You know I go insane

Every time you have to catch a flight (catch a flight)

Can I take you to the airport?

Make out under the bathroom lights (bathroom lights)

Put your lips on my lips

I'll remember your kiss on the nights when I miss you, oh

Somethin' I can't forget when I'm restless in bed

Yeah, you got me obsessed (Mmm)

Oh, don't you leave me this way

Won't you wait another hour or two?

You know I need you to stay

Don't make me beg for you

(Don't leave me, don't leave me)

(To stay, to stay, to stay)

(Don't leave me, don't leave me)

(To stay, to stay, to stay)

You're like an ocean breeze

Comin' and goin' just as you please (as you please)

Separated by a degree, hesitate and I lose you

So far out of reach (out of reach)

Oh, put your lips on my lips

I'll remember your kiss on the nights when I miss you, oh

Somethin' I can't forget when I'm restless in bed

Yeah, you got me obsessed

Oh, don't you leave me this way

Won't you wait another hour or two?

You know I need you to stay

Don't make me beg for you

(To stay, to stay)

(Don't leave me, don't leave me)

(To stay, to stay, to stay)

(Don't leave me, don't leave me)

(To stay, to stay, to stay)

(To stay, to stay, to stay)

(I'll remember your kiss)

(I'll remember your kiss)

(I'll remember your kiss)
