We'll leave she said Blowing smoke from her white cigarette And I don't mind Leaving you without a long goodbye And maybe I won't miss you when I'm gone But darling you know to leave your light on Dressed in white Another loud and lonesome city night Six more flights and I'm doing things your mama Wouldn't like And maybe I won't miss you when I'm gone
Baby, you're a light that won't turn on But not for long Not for long Days make tips Twice as much with lips and swinging hips Kiss by kiss Every single time it's hit or miss And maybe you won't miss me when I'm gone I need you when I can't keep moving on But not for long Not for long Not for long Not for long Not for long Not for long
