Ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-yeah

Ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay, ay-ay

I know it's late

And I missed your call, but I can't explain

If I did I'd lose it all

(I, I, I) If I could take it back

Then I would take it back

(But, I, I, I) I can't tell you that

I'd never tell you that

So I tip toe

When I don't want you to know that I'm not around

And I tip toe

Just a little more time and I'll be gone

And you would never leave

And I could never say the words

'Cause they won't be enough

So I tip toe

'Cause I don't want you to know

Ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-yeah

Ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay

A million ways

A million stories

They all end the same

But I can't have you leave me

(I, I, I) If I could take it back

Then I would take it back (I would take it back, yeah)

(I, I, I) I can't tell you that

I'd never tell you that

So I tip toe

When I don't want you to know that I'm not around

And I tip toe

Just a little more time and I'll be gone (yeah, yeah)

And you would never leave

And I could never say the words

'Cause they won't be enough

So I tip toe

'Cause I don't want you to know

If I tell you

Will it break you?

Will you lose your faith in me? (faith in me)

Can you take it?

If I say it all?

So I tip toe, yeah

So I tip toe

So I tip toe

When I don't want you to know that I'm not around

And I tip toe

Just a little more time and I'll be gone (yeah, yeah, yeah)

And you would never leave
