you lay me down and then I call for you 
 stumbling on reasons that are far and few 
 I'd let it all come down and then some for you 
  
 pretty baby don't you leave me 
 I have been saving smiles for you 
 pretty baby why can't you see 
 you're the one that I belong to 
 I'll be the embrace that keeps you warm 
 for you're the sun that breaks the storm 
 I'll be alright and I'll sleep sound 
 as long as you keep comin' around, oh pretty baby 
  
 and I know things can't last forever 
 but there are lessons that you'll never learn 
 oh just the scent of you it makes me hurt 
 so how's it you that makes me better 
  
 [chorus] 
  
 why can't you hold me and never let go 
 when you touch me it is me that you own 
 pretty baby oh the place that you hold in my heart 
 would you break it apart again... oh pretty baby 
  
 [chorus
