She said baby don't leave
Be home stay close be close to me
Boy don’t be gone, boy
Don’t be gone
He said baby you know
I gotta run, I gotta go
I won't be long, girl
I won't be long
She said boy don't you flirt
And baby please just don't get hurt
And if you feel alone then here
Take my shirt
He said forever girl
I know you hate the weather girl
So maybe you should hold onto
My sweater girl

She ran picked up the phone
Said babe I miss you come back home
It can't be long, boy
It can't be long
He said I hate this place
I miss your smile I miss your face
I wrote a song, girl
I wrote a song
She said you make me better boy
I just mailed you a letter boy
And oh just so you know I'm still in
Your sweater boy
He said girl don't be hurt
I've sweat a lot and smell of dirt
And I think I'd feel naked
Without your shirt

She said baby don't leave
Be home, stay close, be close to me
Boy don't be gone, boy don't be gone
He said baby you know
I gotta run I gotta go
I won't be long, girl I won't be long
She said boy don't you flirt
And baby please just don't get hurt
And if you feel alone then here take my shirt
He said forever girl

Na na na,na na na na,na na (x2)
