Cause when the loving starts and the lights go down
Em D G
And theres not another soul around

You woo me until the sun comes up
Em D G
And you say that you love me
Pretty baby, just when I thought it was over
And now youve got me running, running, running for cover
Im begging you for a little sympathy
If he sees me again itll be the end of me
