I can tell,
That you're wild,
In how you move that aching smiles.
And I know I'm on the list,
To be kissed.

You've been giving out my name,
As the one you want to blame.

[Refrain:]
You'll be on the brink of tears,
That's right.
Girl, I told you was staying here tonight.
[End Refrain]

Girl, I see,
Taht you're cute,
In your neon gucchi suit.
In your eyes, I see the shadow that you hide.

I can be a little sweet.
That would come off very neat.
[Repeat refrain]

[Chorus:]
I been waiting all this time.
Somethin's gotta change.
Yeah, somethin's gotta change.

I?
Slip, slip away now.
Slip, slip away now.
Slip, slip, slip, slip -- slip away now.
[End Chorus]

Well I see that you're fast,
And your we'll never cast (?)
And I know I'm on your list,
To be missed.

It's a sentimental streak,
That allows you to be meek,
When you're on the brink of tears,
That's right.
Girl, I told you that I'm stayin' here tonight.

[Repeat chorus]

Slip, slip away now.
Slip, slip away now.

Slip, slip away now.
Slip, slip away now.

Slip, slip away now.
You gotta slip away.
Somethin's gotta change now.

Slip, slip away now.
Slip, slip away now.
