[Verse 1]
The night doesn't like it
Looks just like your face on the moon to me
And I won't let you do what you want to do
It's funny how, even now
You're laughing
[Refrain]
I won't let you do it
[Verse 2]
If you go, I'll let the law know
And they'll head you off when you touch the ground
Ooh, please, don't go through with this
I don't like the sound of it
It's funny how, even now
You're miles away
[Refrain]
I won't let you do it
I won't let you do it
I won't let you go through with it
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Meet them over at Dover
I'll just pilot the motor
Take them over the water
The night doesn't like it
Looks just like your face on the moon to me
And I won't let you do what you want to do
It's funny how, even now
You're laughing
[Refrain]
I won't let you do it
[Verse 2]
If you go, I'll let the law know
And they'll head you off when you touch the ground
Ooh, please, don't go through with this
I don't like the sound of it
It's funny how, even now
You're miles away
[Refrain]
I won't let you do it
I won't let you do it
I won't let you go through with it
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Meet them over at Dover
I'll just pilot the motor
Take them over the water
