Don't Wanna Leave You Now Lyrics

John Hiatt Don't Wanna Leave You Now

I woke up a day late and a dollar short
Thank God, I was wrapped up in your arms
I don't want to read the morning news or watch the
weather report
I'd rather be grateful for your charms

I've done a lot of things, baby, that didn't make me
proud
Honey, I don't wanna leave you now
Honey, I don't wanna leave you now
Honey, I don't wanna leave you now
Honey, I don't wanna leave you now

Last night you said you looked up to me
Nowhere to hide, that's when I lose control
I kinda think it's like you see right through me
I got no clothes on when you look into my soul

I left my eardrums beating with the roaring of the
crowd
Honey, I don't wanna leave you now
Honey, I don't wanna leave you now
Honey, I don't wanna leave you now
Honey, I don't wanna leave you now

I know I gotta go out and face the music
Gotta stand up and play
I'm lucky as hell to do what I love

But nothing lasts forever, baby
Not even the song
Though you're the most beautiful one
I could ever think of

Honey, I don't wanna leave you now
Honey, I don't wanna leave you now
Honey, I don't wanna leave you now
Honey, I don't wanna leave you now

All this time I've been coming and going
It's like I'm in and out of consciousness
I awaken from dreams sometimes without knowing
Am I really awake or am I dreaming this?

Now I'm wrapped up in your arms
And a tear forms in a cloud
Crying 'cause I gotta leave you now
I'm crying 'cause I gotta leave you now
I'm crying 'cause I gotta leave you now

Baby, I gotta leave you now
Oh, I gotta leave you now
I'm crying 'cause I gotta leave you now
Baby, I gotta leave you now, leave you now
I gotta leave you now


I woke up a day late and a dollar short
Thank God, I was wrapped up in your arms
I don't want to read the morning news or watch the
weather report
