I Really Must Be Going

I Really Must Be Going - Joan Armatrading

Told me that you loved me

You've been looking for me all your life

Told you I was married

You said 'baby it don't seem right'

One touch from your fingers and I'm burning

I can't wait to kiss you on the mouth

I can't contain this yearning

And I can't seem to put the fire out

I went up to your apartment

Only to be polite

It's late I started leaving

But you got in the way so nice

One touch from your fingers and I'm burning

I can't wait to kiss you on the mouth

I can't contain this yearning

And I can't seem to put the fire out

The look in your eyes I'm learning

Would melt a tyrant's heart

But I really must be going

And I'll see you later sweetheart

The phone rang in the morning

Day had begun

I heard your soft voice crying

Told me you were wrong

In time I'd learn to love you

And you had time to spare

And you called again tomorrow

And the next day

The midday flight was on time

No time to hesitate

I changed and unchanged my mind

But this one had to stay

I knew that if we started

I'd be lost and so would you

Though we both regret our parting

We are bound to see it through

I still see your face before me

And smell the scent you wore

And hear your soft voice crying

One touch from your fingers and I'm burning

I can't wait to kiss you on the mouth

I can't contain this yearning

And I can't seem to put the fire out
