"I Can't Stay Here Tonight" lyrics

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, 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 my bags are packed
Something I was gonna say
It's gone
It's till another time
But how long
Till that other time
I hate to go
But I'll be back again

When?
Oh, 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, 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
