I saw you coming from a mile away

Trying to hide behind that pretty face

Bet my last dollar baby you been bruised

Poor little heart all black 'n' blue

Last thing you need's another pickup line

You must have heard them all a thousand times

God only knows what you been through

Believe me I been broken too

It aches, it breaks, it takes your breath away

I've been around that block a time or two

[Chorus]

Baby, I don't want to fall in love with you

I try, try, try but I can't get around the truth

Please don't say my name, give this heart a break

I don't want to make the same mistake but it's too late

I'll leave on the light

These arms are open all night

I got your taste in the back of my mouth

I want to reach in and pull it out

And I'd be lying if I didn't say

When you're this close I'm afraid

Of the way I'll feel if I touch your hair

The way I'll miss you when you're not there

And that I'll see you when I close my eyes

It's too late, I've crossed that line

It breaks, it aches, it takes your breath away

I'll still be around come closing time

[Chorus]

Baby, I don't want to fall in love with you

I try, try, try but I can only tell the truth

Please don't say my name, give this heart a break

I don't want to make the same mistake but it's too late

I'll leave on the light

These arms are open all night

[Guitar solo]

It's 2 am, it's last call, baby. the barkeep's gone, I'll walk you home now

Save me, baby

[Chorus]

Baby, I don't want to fall in love with you

I try, try, try but I can only tell the truth

Please don't make me beg, give this heart a break

I don't want to make the same mistake but it's too late

I'll leave on the light

These arms are open all night
