You've Gotta Gotta Go

You must know why,
I like our nights of leisure.
The moment you sigh...
I turn the lights,
Down low!

Then you say to me,
'You've gotta gotta go! '
Don't you know...
I've come to be with you?

Then you say,
'You've gotta gotta go! '
Don't you know...
I want to stay.
I've come such a long way!

You must know why,
My time with you is treasured.
I want you in my life.
For more than just what is pleasured.

But then you say no...
'You've gotta gotta go! '
Don't you know,
I'm here to be with you?

Please don't say,
'You've gotta gotta go! '
Let's try to forget,
All regrets we once kept.

Don't say,
'You've gotta gotta go! '
Let's start out fresh,
And build on love that's left.
Don't you know,
I've learned a few lessons too!
Don't you know,
I'm here to be with you?
