[Verse 1]
"Time flies when you're havin' fun"
I heard somebody say
But if all I've been is fun
Then baby let me go
Don't wanna be in your way

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I don't wanna be your second choice
Don't wanna be just your friend
You keep telling me that you're not in love
You wanna throw it all away

[Chorus]
But I can't stay away from you
I don't wanna let you go
And though it's killing me, that's true
There's just some things I can't control
Your love is slippin' through my hands
And though I've heard it all before
I know you're telling me the truth
I know it's just no use
But I can't stay away from you

[Verse 2]
Hold on to every bit of hope
That's all I ever do
Hoping you might change your mind
And call me up to say
How much you need me too

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And though you're leaving me no other choice
Than to turn and walk away
Look over your shoulder, I'll be there
You can count on me to stay

[Chorus]
'Cause I can't stay away from you
I don't wanna let you go
And though it's killing me, that's true
There's just some things I can't control
Your love is slippin' through my hands
Though I've heard it all before
I know you're telling me the truth
I know it's just no use
But I can't stay away from you

[Outro]
I know you're telling me the truth
I know it's just no use
But I can't stay away from you
