2.- Lyrics

Josie's on a vacation far away

Come around and talk it over

So many things that I wanna say

You know I like my girls a little bit older


Chorus

I just wanna use your love, tonight

I don't want to lose your love, tonight


I ain´t got many friends left to talk to

Nowhere to run when I'm in trouble

You know I'd do anything for you

Stay the night but keep it under cover


Repeat Chorus


Try to stop my hands from shaking

But something in my mind's not making sense

It's been a while since we were all alone

But I can't hide the way I'm feeling


As you're leaving please, would you close the door?

And don't forget what I told you

Just 'cause you're right that don't mean I'm wrong

Another shoulder to cry upon


Repeat Chorus...
