It's not that I don't mean every word I say
It's just my love for you, it changes every day
Your lips are sweet, girl, but I just can't stay

Look at all the things that I've gotta do, girl
Look at all the things that I've gotta do, girl

Just give me time, oh, precious time, and I'll come home
But right now, I gotta go, and I gotta go alone
So I'll be leaving before I turn to stone

Look at all the things that I've gotta do, girl
Look at all the things that I've gotta do, girl

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

It's not that I don't mean every word I say
It's just my love for you, it changes every day
Your lips are sweet, girl, but I just can't stay

Look at all the things that I've gotta do, girl
Look at all the things that I've gotta do, girl
Look at all the things that I've gotta do, girl
Look at all the things that I've gotta do, girl
Look at all the things that I've gotta do, girl
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey
