I listen to the sound of the rain fallin’ down my window Prayin’ for a gentle wind To bring my baby back again Tryna be strong but I’m not getting any stronger Loneliness is tearing apart this heart of mine
I lie awake ‘Cause I can’t take Another night lonely It’s been too long, I can’t hold on no more
Leavin’ on the next plane out ‘Cause I gotta see my baby It’s been too long Since I held him in my arms And I just won’t sleep at night ‘Til he’s sleeping here beside me Here beside me again
Talking on the phone but that don’t make it any better Nothing’s gonna ease this pain Until I’m in his arms again Runnin’ down the stairs there’s a taxi that’s waiting for me Loneliness, I’m gonna leave you far behind
I’d walk for days Through pouring rain Anything to be with him It’s been too long, I can’t be strong no more
Leavin’ on the next plane out ‘Cause I gotta see my baby It’s been too long Since I held him in my arms And I just won’t sleep at night No, no, no, no ‘Til he’s sleeping here beside me Here beside me again
I gotta be with my baby
Gotta be with him Gotta be by his side Gonna be with him My heart’s made up my mind
I’m leavin’ on the next plane out ‘Cause I gotta see my baby It’s been too long Since I held him in my arms And I just won’t sleep at night No, no, no ‘Til he’s sleeping here beside me Here beside me again
It’s been too long Since I held him in my arms And I just won’t sleep at night ‘Til he’s sleeping here beside me Here beside me
I gotta be with my baby, Gonna be with my baby Gonna take the next plane Or the next train Gotta get there Gotta see my baby
And nothing’s gonna stop me From leavin’ this time Leavin’ on the next plane out Leavin’ on the next plane out
