I can see you're not happy the way you've been acting 
And I think you'd like to be free 
I know he's a good man but I know that you can be a whole lot happier with me
In your eyes there's a yearning and inside you're a burnin' 
And I'd like to put out the flame 
So let's get together like birds of a feather and we let the love take the blame 

But right now I don't think that I can leave him 
For lately he's been so good to me 
And there might be once more chance that things might work out 
So let's wait a little longer then we'll see 

But wait I can make you forget him cause I'll take you 
To places that you've never been 
We'll make all the night spots the dim and the bright spots 
And then we'll forget where we've been 
We'll walk sunny beaches and taste Georgia peaches 
and swing from Maine to Mexico 
If you'll come along we can make life a song 
and you won't be tied down anymore 

But still I don't think that I can leave him 
For lately he's been so good to me 
And there might be once more chance that things might work out 
So let's wait a little longer then we'll see 
Yes let's wait a little longer then we'll see
