Working by the day and Singing by the night Sleeping in the middle And awaking to the daylight I’m feeling uptight A brown-eyed woman smiled at me tonight I know she doesn’t love me But I like to think she might I know it’s not right

I don’t wanna go I don’t wanna I don’t wanna go away again. I don’t wanna go I don’t wanna I don’t wanna go away again Not without you there Not without you

City after city Hall after hall I’m trying to remember If I’ve played this place before I cannot recall Lobby after lobby Wall after wall If you’ve seen one room Then you’ve probably seen them all I’m really not sure

I don’t wanna go I don’t wanna I don’t wanna go away again. I don’t wanna go I don’t wanna I don’t wanna go away again I don’t wanna go I don’t wanna I don’t wanna go away again Not without you there Not without you

You were sleeping when I left And will be when I return Like a book that's never read Nothing missed and nothing learned There’s a rumour going round And I don’t like what it says Until I’m home I'll count the days Until I’m home I'll count the days

I don’t wanna go I don’t wanna I don’t wanna go away again. I don’t wanna go I don’t wanna I don’t wanna go away again I don’t wanna go I don’t wanna I don’t wanna go away again Not without you there Not without you Not without you there Not without you
