Everyday I'm growing a little bit closer to you.
I find myself doing everything you ask me to do.
We talk a little then you say you have to be gone.
But when you leave me the memory hangs on and on.
Why don't you linger a little bit longer.
Won't you linger a little bit longer.
Move in closer now feel my love grow stronger.
Linger a little bit longer,
A little bit longer.
I can see you thinking about what your love means to me.
I can sense the feelings that nobody else sees.
You're always in a rush how I wish you'd take a little time.
Why run when one kiss could make you mine all mine.
Why don't you linger a little bit longer.
Won't you linger a little bit longer.
Move in closer feel my love grow stronger.
Linger a little bit longer.
Breaks me up every time that you go away,
Wouldn't it be simpler all round if you were to stay, yeah.
Linger a little bit longer.
Won't you linger just a little bit longer.
Move in closer feel my love grow stronger.
Linger a little bit longer.
Won't you linger a little bit longer......move in closer.
Feel my love grow stronger.
Linger, a little bit longer.
Why don't you linger a little bit longer
Won't you linger a little bit longer.
Move in closer feel my love grow stronger..
I've got something to tell you baby
In the arc of a love affair
Lies the point of no return
First you lose your self respect
Then you hide all the hurt
Well, I've been here thinkin'
Long enough to figure out
That a change has got to come
And it's all up to you
Be good or be gone
Love me or leave me baby, leave me alone
Cause I can be real bad baby, all by myself
Umm, one day you're gonna find yourself, by yourself
You see the choice is so simple now
Cause there really is no choice to make
I not gonna let you treat me badly
No, I won't be makin' that mistake
And it's all up to you
Be good or be gone
Love me or leave me baby, leave me alone
Cause I can be real bad baby, all by myself
Umm, one day you gonna find yourself, by yourself
Make a decision, make up your mind
Give me my proper respect and baby, don't ever forget
That a real love is precious and rare
But you've got to be ready to give, and ready to share
It's all up to you
Be good or be gone
Love me or leave me baby, leave me alone
Cause I can be real bad baby, all by myself
Umm, one day you gonna find yourself, by yourself
