everyone is sleeping tight
god knows i tried my best
darling you know it looks bad
just lost the best thing that i ever had
still i don't know why i did him wrong
it's too late now he's gone to say

chorus
baby oh no, can't leave me now
said think about it please
cos i love you and i need you
and i should have thought of that before i did you wrong

heartache, heartache, yeah
when i saw his face i could see how bad i'd let him down
cheating when he was working hard, i just had to mess around
i knew from the start he ain't got much money
i should have stayed content with all that good sweet honey
he's a good strong man and i love him so so how on earth can i let him go

repeat chorus

and now it's midnight it's raining outside
and i'm soaking wet, still looking for that man of mine
and i ain't found him yet
well all of this rain can wash away my tears
but nothing can replace all of those wasted years
in all of this i tell you i have learnt
playing with fire gets you burnt
and i'm still burning

repeat chorus

you say you'll lose your pride
well don't you know dear, don't you know
i'll lose so much more if you go now
oh
