Standing in my eyes
You'll always be
The reason
That I know I can't keep you for good
And I'm not even sure that I should
Oh Girl
If you must leave my life
You'll leave me alone
And baby long
Before you leave my life
Be sure to have your own
Somewhere in my mouth
They'll always be
The taste of you
Forever is so very long
I don't want your life to go wrong
So girl
If you must leave my life
Consider every part
And baby long
Before you leave my life
Be sure you have your heart
Now consider every part
Girl be sure to have your heart
Cause if its not there
When you unpack
It may not be here
When you get back
La
La la
La la la
La la la la la la la la
La
La la
La la la
La la la la la la la la
Oh girl
Be sure you have your heart
Oh oh girl
Consider every part
Oh oh girl
