Lyrics
What would I do
For just some time with you
Don’t give that to her
Baby, give that to me
What would will you do
When the thrill is gone, baby
Don’t give that to her
Baby, give that to me
Oh, where have you gone
Have you gone so far from me
Leaving your touch
On the edge of my heart
What will I do
In the still of the night, baby
Don’t give that to her
You remember my words
All the beautiful worlds
That I have seen so far
Have all fallen down
Oh, it used to be yours
Calm, beautiful, childlike victim
Calm, beautiful, childlike victim
I see through your smile
And I see through the heart of you
I know where it goes
And I know what it means
I know where you go
To the edge of the night, baby
Don’t give that to her
Baby, give that to me
All the beautiful worlds
That I have seen so far
Have all fallen down
Oh, it used to be yours
Calm, beautiful, childlike victim
Calm, beautiful, childlike victim
Ooh, you say you’re leaving, baby
You don’t want to tell me why
After all this time you think
You don’t even say goodbye
Oh, you say you’re leaving, baby
You don’t want to tell me why
After all this time you think
You don’t even say goodbye
I see through that smile
And I see through the heart of you
I know where it goes
And I know what it means
Well, I know where you go
To the edge of the night, baby
Don’t give that to her
Baby, give that to me
All the beautiful worlds
That I have seen so far
Have all fallen down
Oh, it used to be yours
Calm, beautiful, childlike victim
Calm, beautiful, childlike victim
Calm, beautiful, childlike victim
Well, I see through that smile
And I see through the heart of you
I know where it goes
And I know what it means
Well, I know where you go
To the edge of the night, baby
Don’t give that to her
Baby, give that to me
Don’t give that to her
Baby, give that to me
Don’t give that to her
Baby, give that to me
Well, I know where you go
And I know what you do
Don’t give that to her
Baby, give that to me
And I know what you do
Well, I know where you go
Don’t give that to her
Baby, give that to me
