I Don’t Wanna Go Songtext
von Rea Garvey

It′s black and white, she was shades of grey
Quarter to nine and it was forty degrees
I lost my balance when I pulled on your sleeves
You turned, and I went weak at the knees

She's a Rolls-Royce
You know she got me caught in the headlights
Before she started readin′ my last rites
She put her hand on my chest, said
"All your friends are leavin', you're only one left"

I don′t wanna go, I don′t wanna go
I wanna be the last one, the last one standin'
I don′t wanna go, I don't wanna go
I wanna be the last one, the last one surrenderin′

One last drink and one last dance
One last song before the evenin' ends
One last kiss before I walk you home
(I don′t wanna go)


A late beginner, I got stuck in the queue
A backswimmer looking up at you
On my knees, dedicated to pray
When I heard the violent femmes singin' day after day

She's a Rolls-Royce
You know she got me caught in the headlights
Before she started readin′ my last rites
She put her hand on my chest
She said, "All your friends are leavin′, you're only one left"

I don′t wanna go, I don't wanna go
I wanna be the last one, the last one standin′
I don't wanna go, I don′t wanna go
I wanna be the last one, the last one surrenderin'

One last drink and one last dance
One last song before the evenin' ends
One last kiss before I walk you home
(I don′t wanna go)


You know I never want it to end
I know I′ll sleep enough when I'm dead
I′ll tell you all the things in my head
Makin' mistakes that we′ll never regret
I'm sure I′ve got some fuel in the tank
To get us up to my place and back
And when we're rollin' ′round on my bed
Makin′ mistakes that we'll never regret

I don′t wanna go, I don't wanna go
I wanna be the last one, the last one standin′
I don't wanna go, I don′t wanna go
I wanna be the last one, the last one surrenderin'

One last drink and one last dance
One last song before the evenin' ends
One last kiss before I walk you home
(I don′t wanna go)
