I Don't Want You to Go

You're too hard to handle
Scandal after scandal
You must think I'm naïve
I don't want you to go
But I need you to leave
It's those wild alibis and outrageous lies
You expect me to believe
I don't want you to go
But I need you to leave

Well I've thought about it and I've made up my mind
It's time we call it quits
You know you may be fun for a Saturday night
But the rest of the week is the pits
I measured what we had
Between the good and the bad
And there's too much uncertainty
I don't want you to go
But I need you to leave

You placed the blame on the pink champagne
For dancing naked on New Year's Eve
I don't want you to go
But I need you to leave
I'll buy a one way ticket, the destination you pick it
Anywhere from Tulsa to Tel Aviv
I don't want you to go
But I need you to leave

Anytime you're nice
I can't help but think twice
That there's something up your sleeve
I don't want you to go
But I need you to leave
I don't want you to go
But I need you to leave
