Yeah, he'll always want you
He'll always need you
We lay there, your long hair was warm
The last night together, we made love until dawn
My nights on the town made you cry
Let's make love one more time, before I say goodbye

Another time - another place - ooh
We'll be together again - you never leave me, baby
