Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I watched you take off your clothes
And slip under the sheets
Then I turned and kicked the boots off my feet
Hey, I pull you close without a word
'Cause there's no need to speak
Girl, beauty like yours is hard to beat
[Verse 2]
But I'll be gone in the mornin'
In the mornin', I'll be gone
'Cause I'm not one for hangin' on
And please don't think
You done somethin' wrong
In the mornin' when you wake
And find me gone
[Verse 3]
Just a look from those fiery eyes
Can all but erase
The memory of any other's face
And the passion they unleash
Could cause me to misplace
And lose all track of time
Without a trace
[Verse 4]
But I'll be gone in the mornin'
In the mornin', I'll be gone
'Cause I'm not one for hangin' on
And please don't think
You done somethin' wrong
In the mornin' when you wake
And find me gone, alright
[Verse 5]
The sun intrudes and throws
Across the room its golden tracks
Shake the dreams
Now it's back to facts
As I turn to leave
I know you had what so many lack
Maybe someday that'll bring me back
[Verse 6]
But I'll be gone in the mornin'
In the mornin', I'll be gone
'Cause I'm not one for hangin' on
And please don't think
Girl, you done somethin' wrong
In the mornin' when you wake
And find me gone
[Verse 7]
And I'll be gone in the mornin'
In the mornin', I'll be gone
'Cause I'm not one for hangin' on
And please don't think
You done somethin' wrong
In the mornin' when you wake
And find me gone
In the mornin' when you wake
And find me gone
