[Verse 1]

I’m still in your jeans from the night before

These were the only ones you forgot to pack up

I found your cologne by the bathroom drawer

And I would break the cap just to drink you back in

[Pre-Chorus]

Ma says you’re a keeper

Yeah I know, I know, I know

Your best friend swears he needs ya

Yeah I know, I know, I know

And papa he never says anything 'bout those other boys

He likes you babe

Like I do

[Chorus]

I can be stone cold

Hard as the night

Yeah I can let go

But this isn’t right

I know I pushed you on and on

You should be here with me, not gone

Not gone

[Verse 2]

You always said you’re not a city boy

Guessing by now that you’re far from LA

You'll go north-east back to Illinois

If the roles were reversed, baby

I’d do the same

[Pre-Chorus]

Ma says you’re a keeper

Yeah I know, I know, I know

You’re best friend swears he needs ya

Yeah I know, I know, I know

And papa he never says anything 'bout those other boys

He likes you babe

Like I do

[Chorus]

I can be stone cold

Hard as the night

Yeah I can let go

But this isn’t right

I know I pushed you on and on

You should be here with me, not gone

Not gone

[Bridge]

I know you’re a keeper

Yeah I know, I know, I know

Here’s how much I need ya

Yeah I know, I know, I know

And even if all that I'm saying is just a bunch of noise

I like you babe

I like you

[Chorus x2]

I can be stone cold

Hard as the night

Yeah I can let go

But this isn’t right

I know pushed you on and on

You should be here with me, not gone

Not gone
