Sitting here looking at you with a lonely heart
Knew I was in trouble with you right from the start
I know too well what I'm scared of, the feeling you get when you're falling in love
Making me weak and I gotta say that's how I know that I gotta get away

I gotta get away before you break my heart
I gotta get away before love makes a start
Something in your eyes tells me to stay
But this voice inside keeps telling me
"Hey, hey, hey, gotta get away, babe"

I know better than to try to make you mine
Something tells me you never could walk the line
I don't know what my heart's gonna do
Just know I gotta get away from you
Maybe I'll be back someday, but right now I know that I gotta get away

I gotta get away before you break my heart
I gotta get away before love makes a start
Something in your eyes tells me to stay
But this voice inside keeps telling me
"Hey, hey, hey, I gotta get away"

I gotta get away before you break my heart
I gotta get away before love makes a start
Something in your eyes tells me to stay
But this voice inside keeps telling me
"Hey, hey, hey, I gotta get away, babe"

I gotta get away before you break my heart
But this voice inside keeps telling me
"Hey, hey, hey, I gotta get away"
