Baby im going out of town to handle some business
For a few days
But don't you worry
'Cause I'll call you
Like it's not
Long distance
'Cause I hate being away
I hate being away from you
I gotta go
Even though I don't want to
I'd rather stay
Than to be away from you
Since absence
Has been known to
Make the heart grow fonder
Then you know
That I miss you
And this song
Is just a reminder
I hate being away
I hate being away from you
I've gotta go even though I don't want to
I'd rather stay
Than be away from you
I can't wait to see your smiling face
And cuddle up in front of the fireplace
I'd rather stay
Than be away from you
Sometimes I find myself
Reaching for you
When talking on the phone
Is all we can do
But it won't be long until I'm back to you
I'm counting the seconds
The minutes
The hours
The days
Until we're face to face
'Cause I hate being away
I hate being away from you
I gotta go even though I don't want to
I'd rather stay than to be away from you
I can't wait to see your smiling face
And cuddle up in front of the fireplace
I'd rather stay than be away from you
I hate being away from you
I gotta go even though I don't want to
I'd rather stay than to be away from you
I can't wait to see your smiling face
And cuddle up in front of the fireplace
I'd rather stay than be away from you
Tonight I'm giving you
The chance to show and prove
What you're really all about
Even though it's hard
I'm letting down my guard
There's been times in the past
When true love is what I thought I had
But that wasn't the case
I wish I could erase
The times I've hurt so bad
And now I find myself, here with you
Just as nervous as can be
Trying to give love a chance to live inside of me
Tonight I'm giving you
The chance to show and prove
What you're really all about
Even though it's hard
I'm letting down my guard
I cannot lie
You more than caught my eye
I'm really liking what I see
And now that I know if you and I can grow
If I never let the past go
Tonight I'm giving you
The chance to show and prove
What you're really all about
Even though it's hard
I'm letting down my guard
Tonight I'm giving you
The chance to show and prove
What you're really all about
Even though it's hard
I'm letting down my guard
You seem like, your mama raised you right
It was nice of you to invite
Me out for a night on the town
And so far I like how you get down
Tonight I'm giving you
The chance to show and prove
What you're really all about
Even though it's hard
I'm letting down my guard
Tonight I'm giving you
The chance to show and prove
What you're really all about
Even though it's hard
I'm letting down my guard
