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
