Doris Day Lyrics - Jack's Mannequin

I saw her wait, waitng at the bus stop 

Watching as her tears dropped 

Like pennies down a well 

Oh well 

We can drink until the sun comes up 

I never let a good thing go 

So I'll stay here if you're not leaving 

I am on your side 

This house is empty 

We could cross the line 

And we could make a big mistake 

The silence breaks and you hear me say 

"Don't go, don't go so far away" 

(You don't have to go) 

"Don't go, don't go so far away" 

You don't have to go 

I saw your man, fast car and a dark suntan 

You said he's in a punk-rock band 

But baby, punk-rock's dead 

Oh well 

We can drink till you forget about him 

It's not like he waits up for you 

I'm sure he'd do the same thing too 

But I am on your side 

This house is empty 

We could cross the line 

And we could make a big mistake 

The silence breaks and you hear me say 

"Don't go, don't go so far away" 

(You don't have to go) 

"Don't go, don't go so far away" 

You don't have to 

I knew it was a crime 

I did it anyway 

I tell him we're like magnets 

I tell him I feel no shame 

If I crawl into your blood 

Can I sleep under your skin? 

C'mon let me in 

Don't make me wait 

I am on your side 

This house is empty 

We could cross the line 

And we could be making a big mistake 

The silence breaks and you hear me say 

"Don't go, don't go so far away" [x5] 

You don't have to go 

You don't have to go
