If I had an audience
I'd cover my face
Lock away myself
In a lonesome place
If I'd had a premonition
Of how this would be
I would still have begged
And took you home with me
Still have done it all
Done it hopelessly
And bury myself when all I could see
Well, I lost my heart when my back was turned
If you see it, could you let me know?
And if you've got to leave me, baby
Won't you do it slow?
If I had a crystal ball
I still wouldn't see it all
I swear I didn't do it
Just to make you crawl
And if I had an audience
I'd ask them to leave
How can I give them what I can't receive?
How can I pray when I just don't believe?
And sometimes it takes
All your heart just to breath
Well, I lost my heart when my back was turned
If you see it, could you let me know?
And if you've got to leave me, baby
Won't you do it slow?
Well, there's nothing that I wouldn't give in this whole world
To be the man you met long ago
And if you've got to leave me, baby
Won't you do it slow?
If you've got to leave me, baby
Won't you do it slow?
♪
Well, don't let me see
Don't linger at my door
Tell me again
Was it to you I swore
That no one would play
With your heart anymore?
Well, I lost my heart when my back was turned
If you see it, could you let me know?
And if you've got to leave me, baby
Won't you do it slow?
Well, there's nothing that I wouldn't give in this whole world
To be the man you met long ago
And if you've got to leave me, baby
Won't you do it slow?
If you've got to leave me, baby
Won't you do it slow?
