Get out of town
Before it's too late, my love
Get out of town
Be good to me, please
Why wish me harm
♪
Why not retire to a farm
And be contented to charm
The birds off the trees
Just disappear
♪
I care for you much, too much
And when you're near, close to me dear
We touch too much
The thrill when we meet is so bitter-sweet
That darling, it's getting me down
So on your mark get set

We touch too much
The thrill when we meet is so bitter-sweet
That darling, it's getting me down
So on your mark get set
Get out of town
