I Can't Stay Here Tonight

Open up your tired eyes

And force yourself to smile

Yesterday was yesterday

It's gone  it's tomorrow now

It's here  it's tomorrow now

Now I must go

But I'll see you again

When  oh when

Please don't ask me when

I'll call  I'll write

But I can not stay here tonight

No  I can not stay here tonight

I can't stay here tonight

Light me up a cigarette

And check that my bags are packed

Something I was gonna say

It's gone - till another time

But how long till that other time

I hate to go

But I'll be back again

When  oh when

Please don't ask me when

I'll call  I'll write

But I can not stay here tonight

No  I can not stay here tonight

I can't stay here tonight

Open up your tired eyes

And force yourself to smile

Yesterday was yesterday

It's gone  it's tomorrow now

It's here  it's tomorrow now

Now I must go

But I'll be back again

When  oh when

Please don't ask me when

I'll call  I'll write

But I can not stay here tonight

No  I can not stay here tonight

I can't stay here tonight
