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

To another city Through another door I’m trying to remember If I’ve played this room before I'm really not sure I see a lot of faces and I hear a lot of names I shake a lot of hands and explain myself again I always sound the same

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 I'm the words you never read On the page you never turned 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
