He comes at midnight,
He promises the world and all that
But he can leave his shoes on
Cos I know he’ll be gone in a little while

He calls me ‘wild thing’
He builds me up with his sweet nothings
Says ‘write it in a love song’
But I know he’ll be gone in a little while

I thought things might be different
But Lord knows I’ve been through this one too many times
I know he’ll be gone in a little while

We drive by night
We put our world to rights then,
I don’t talk the last few miles,
Cos I know he’ll be gone in a little while

He says he’ll call me,
When he’s flying through my city,
But I let the promise die,
Cos I know he’ll be gone in a little while

I thought things might be different
But Lord knows I’ve been through this one too many times
I know he’ll be gone in a little while

He’ll be gone in a little while
He’ll be gone in a little while
