[English]

All we do right is make love

We both know now,

that ain't enough

Ain't gonna beg you stay,

ain't gotta ask you what's wrong

Ain't no reason running after something already gone

Take off your leavin' dress,

let's do what we do best

I guess everybody has there way of moving on

Girl, rest your head,

one more time in my bed

Love me like you love when you loved

and you didn't have to try

Let's lay down tonight

And kiss tomorrow goodbye

Baby, who we are,

just didn't work

But maybe we can leave

with something out of all this hurt

Ain't gonna beg you stay,

ain't gotta ask you what's wrong

Ain't no reason running after something already gone

Take off your leavin' dress,

let's do what we do best

I guess everybody has there way of moving on

Girl, rest your head,

one more time in my bed

Love me like you love

when you loved and you didn't have to try

Let's lay down tonight

And kiss tomorrow goodbye

Ain't gonna beg you stay,

ain't gotta ask you what's wrong

Ain't no reason running after something already gone

Take off your leavin' dress,

let's do what we do best

I guess everybody has there way of moving on

Girl, rest your head,

one more time in my bed

Love me like you love

when you loved and you didn't have to try

Let's lay down tonight

And kiss tomorrow goodbye

Let's kiss tomorrow goodbye
