I never should have let you go

It’s not the light’s fault

But just the same I’d rather it was gone

Because we make great friends in the daytime

We can make great love before dawn

If we get the chance

And if my friends have left us leaving you and I alone

To do what we do best

and I know that you know

Sinning is easier without light

cause when it’s dark no one can see

You and I beneath a street light

And I’ve got you on top of me.

I called you up Tuesday and you said

Keep it to yourself

I’ll see you on Friday and by Saturday you won’t see nobody else

We’ll go down on South Street

And walk along with the freaks and the queens

But soon as the night falls we’ll head home

To replay some dreams

But why can’t it be easy to say good-bye

You know I’ll be back again

We wish for a moment to stop time

So the night won’t ever end

I never should of let you go

Because sinning is easier without light

Because when it’s dark no one can see

It’s you and I beneath a street light

And I’ve got you on top of me

Said I’ve got you on top of me girl

And I know I’m never gonna let you go
