I don't wanna change a thing

I awake in the mornin'

when the spot on the floor

makes that noise

And I pretend to be still sleepin'

'Cause I just can't take it anymore

 

You need to go back

to where what brought you here

Yeah, I remember the track

That's why it's all clear

 

That if leaving me in the mornin'

will make you love me more

I don't wanna change a thing

Then this is the life I'll settle for

without that little ring

Don't take too long

to grab your things

and make like you weren't here

Just make sure that it's mornin'

and I won't shed one tear

 

I saw you in your suit and tie

Holding on to her hand

She was smiling and laughing

but you were far away

So I got the nerve to say

"Hello, how are you both?

How about something to drink?"

I'll have a Cosmo, please, is what

she said

Then, it was your turn

I really need a bed to

clear my head

My eyes are startin' to burn

 

I left you for a minute

But I was in it to win it

I knew she wasn't right for you

I walked real slow

And hoped she didn't know

The spill was right on cue

When she got up

I moved in

and slipped you my cell

I smiled in her face

As she reclaimed her place

If you were in love I couldn't tell

 

Your bill was paid

And you threw me some shade

Didn't think I'd hear from you again

I finished my shift

And began to drift

I said goodnight to everybody

So what a surprise

To my very eyes

You were outside waiting for me

 

Instead of a drive

I felt too alive

So we took a little walk

Much I didn't know

To let my feelings show

And then you began to talk

You went on and on

'bout her

and how you couldn't leave

Said that it was just too soon

But I wanted this chance

for a failed romance

To be a fool for this tune

 

That's why I say

if leaving me in the mornin'

will make you love me more

then I don't wanna change a thing

it's the life I'll settle for
