I don't care about your man's reputation.
I don't care what you say about him.
All I know is you're some kind of woman,
and, it won't be tonight,
but, girl, you're gonna give in.
Go and give him his walking papers.
Tell him things that he never knew.
Don't you hear what your new man's saying, girl?
Don't you know what you've got to do now?
Go and tell him you can't see him again.
Go and tell him you can't see him again.
You can't say that you don't think about me late at night, lying in your bed.
Stirring the soup
and you start to think about the times that we had
and the times that I said now.
Go and tell him you can't see him again.
Go and tell him you can't see him again.
I don't care about your man's reputation.
I don't care what your man's gonna do.
You can tell that you're gonna come running, baby.
I can tell that you're gonna come soon.
Go and tell him you can't see him again.
Go and tell him, nah, you can't see him again. (You can't see him right now)
Go and tell him you can't see him again.
Go and tell him that you are gone.
Go and tell him that you are gone.
Go and tell him that you are gone.
I said, go and tell him that you are gone.
Go, you can tell.
Go and tell him girl.
Let him know you're coming home with me tonight.
Oh, oh, oh.

Las Vegas nights
Have been calling
But I wait to see her float down stairs


There she stands with her eyes full and yearning
I look
And I know gotta be there


Is there another chance
To bring her closer
Make her feel I know we could be happy again


Is there another chance
To bring her flowers
So she will only whisper my name


A chance to make things right for her
And make my lies seem true
I'm begging Do


Don't go down to the station
Somehow we won't live that long
Don't go now, desert flower
Cause you just won't bloom
And your memories made need more room


See that mirror there
Will she look inside
To see the one I fear standing alone


And on my phonograph
Will she put them in
The songs that only remind her of me


A chance to make things right for her
And make my life seem true
I'm begging Do


CHORUS

I step outside The Joint
To clouds of guilt and fear
And there are shades of red dancing in view

Las Vegas nights
Make me wonder
How much longer I will be a fool

A chance to make things right for her
Make my lies seem true
I'm begging Do

CHORUS

Do you see heaven
Like I do
Or is it just me
Wanting you

Tonight I'm special
Like no one else
I hope you need me
For yourself

Does it make you happy
To be so free
The times we shared
You loving me

And as you leave
And walk away
Your eyes they tell me
Someday you'll stay

What's going on here
What must we fear
To live in this fantasyland in your mind
Who'll carry the load
For dreams left untold
Can you live in this world all mine

I would walk this journey
To say goodbye
To have you close would
Make me high

All the good things
That made you see
It was the strong thing
Being with me

Just look high above
And you'll see where we should be
And if tomorrow makes
If tomorrow breaks us

Then you stand still and I'll
Show you me

Like you never knew
Or is it just me
Wanting you
So as you leave
And walk away
I knew you'd come back
Now let's play

Mama please don't go
Won't you stay here for one more day
I've been your boy for so long now
There's so much I still have to say

Sky rips open, and I hold my heart in my hand
Like a soldier on his very last day
Cried myself to sleep that night, and I listened
As I heard the angels sing

Chorus:
Sha la la la Sha la la la, I'm going home
Sha la la la Sha la la la, I'm going home

Something inside makes me scream
How could God take you from a little boy
He'll be alright, he's by my side
He's no little boy, he's my pride and joy

[repeat chorus]

Summer on the radio and the phone rings
And it was Jeanette
She said boy we had to let her go
I begged her no, no not yet

You left six of us to fend for ourselves
I guess it's part of someone's master plan
I see you laughing, you're my best friend
You're the light of the lamb, and I cried
as the angels sing

[repeat chorus twice]
