Don't jump the puddle if you're not sure yet
I wouldn't want to get your feet wet
Hold on - to this moment
South Pacific and it's pouring rain
I feel the tears are creeping back again
Don't do that - don't look back
I really didn't wanna make you stay
I just wish you weren't so far away
Circumstance drove us far apart
Like a wedge between two hearts
Betty Grable's dancing on T.V.
Feel like this movie's lasted nearly a week
Lonely - you're only lonely
I really didn't mean to treat you bad
And I can't stand to see you look so sad
Please come back - baby please come back
