I want to kiss you all over  
And over again  
I want to kiss you all over  
Till the night closes in  
Till the night closes in

You said that I was naive  
And I thought that I was strong  
I thought, “Hey I can leave, I can leave”  
Oh, but now I know that I was wrong  
'Cause I missed you  
Yeah, I missed you

</div>

I tell myself don’t be a chump  
Who cares, let him stay away  
That’s when the phone rings and I jump  
And as I grab the phone I pray  
Let it please be him, oh dear God  
It must be him, it must be him  
Or I shall die  
Or I shall die  
Oh hello, hello my dear God  
It must be him but it’s not him  
And then I die  
That’s when I die

Hey, I will stand my ground, won’t back down…

And, I won’t back down…

Let me tell you about a girl I know  
I met her walking down an uptown street  
She’s so fine, I wish she was mine  
I get shook up every time we meet

Talking about you (Nobody but you, baby)  
Nobody but you (Yes, you all the time)  
I do mean you (Yeah, my baby)  
Just trying to get a message to you

From the time I fall asleep  
'Til the morning comes I dream about  
You, baby  
And I feel all right  
'Cause I know tonight I’ll be with  
You, baby  
And who makes me feel like smiling  
When the weary day is through?  
You baby, no-one but you, baby, nobody but you  
You baby, no-one but you, baby, nobody but you

</div>

Girl, it’s been a long time that we’ve been apart  
Much too long for a man who needs love  
I miss you since I’ve been away  
Babe, it wasn’t easy to leave you alone  
It’s getting harder each time that I go  
If I had the choice, I would stay

There’s no one like you  
I can’t wait for the nights with you  
I imagine the things we’ll do  
I just want to be loved by you

I didn’t know it would be so strong  
Waiting and wondering about you  
I didn’t know it would last so long  
Nights are forever without you

Nights in white satin  
Never reaching the end  
Letters I’ve written  
Never meaning to send

Now most every morning  
I stare out the window  
I think about where you might be  
I’ve written you letters that I’d like to send  
If you would just send one to me

Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane  
Ain’t got time to take a fast train  
Lonely days are gone, I’m a-goin’ home  
My baby just wrote me a letter

I don’t care how much money I gotta spend  
Got to get back to my baby again  
Lonely days are gone, I’m a-goin’ home  
My baby just wrote me a letter

I was overseas in battle when the postman came to me  
He handed me a letter and I was just as happy as I could be  
'Cause the fighting was all over and the battles have all been won  
But then I opened up the letter and that started, “Dear John:”

“Won’t you please send back my picture my husband wants it now  
When I tell you who I’m wedding you won’t care dear anyhow  
And it hurts me so to tell you that my love for you has gone  
But tonight I wed your brother dear John.”

John, I’m only dancing  
She turns me on  
But I’m only dancing  
She turns me on  
But don’t get me wrong  
I’m only dancing

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin  
Dance me through the panic 'til I’m gathered safely in  
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove  
Dance me to the end of love  
Dance me to the end of love
