This is not the first time—you tried to get away
This is not a party—where people know your name
This is not a classroom—with teacher at the board
This is not a cat show—with prizes at the door

Go—don't you go
Won't you stay with me one more day?
If we get through one more night
If we get through one more night

This is not a horserace—where winners beat the time
This is not a funeral—with mourners in a line
This is not a sitcom—where everything's all right
This is not a prison—with terror through the night

Go—don't you go
Won't you stay with me one more day?
If we get through one more night
If we get through one more night
