Light me up a cigarette
And check my bags are packed.
Something I was gonna say,
It's gone - till another time,
But how long till that other time.
I hate to go but I'll be back again.
When? Oh please don't ask me when.
I'll call, I'll write,
But I cannot stay here tonight,
No, I cannot stay here tonight,
I can't stay here tonight.
