Lyrics

What would I giveFor just a few momentsWhat would I giveJust to have you near

Tell me you will tryTo slip away somehowOh, I need you, darlingI want to see you right now

Can you slip awaySlip awaySlip awayOh, I need you so

Love, oh, loveHow sweet it isWhen you steal it, darlingLet me tell you somethin' now how sweet it is

Now I know it's wrongThe things I ask you to doBut please believe me, darlingI don't mean to hurt you

But could you just slip awayWithout him knowing you're goneThen we could meet somewhereSomewhere where we're both are not known

And guess can you slip awaySlip awaySlip awayI need you so

Oh, can you slip away, babyI'd like to see you right now, darlingCan you slip away now, baby'Cause I got to, I got to see youI feel a deep burning inside
