Pretty lady make me crazy
Come stay with me a while
Want to know where time begins, yeah
Your life is shown through your smile
Take it easy, pretty lady
My meaning's very clear
The summer's gone
And it's gettin' cold, babe
When you call my name I won't be here

You know, I'm gonna leave you babe
And you know that I'm gonna leave
Yes I am

From a corner light
You call from the dark of night
Sounds so easy for you to please me, babe
And it sounds so right
Another night, another night to spend together
You’re makin' love all the while
Oh, it's really, really not make believe
When you touch that desert sky

You know I'm gonna leave you babe
And you know I'm gonna leave, leave, leave, leave
And you know I'm gonna leave
You know, yeah, babe, I'm gone
