Said I don't want you to go away hey now
Said I hate when you just can't stay
So won't yah come back my way
I said come back my way
And I hear this song and sing along
Cuz I'm here to stay to stay but
When those days are long and nights are cold
Well I want you in my daylight
And I want you in my moonlight, I
Just want you by my side
And I want you when the sun rays
And I want you when I star gaze, I
Just want you by my side
I don't want you to go away
Said I don't want you to go away hey now
Said I hate when you just can't stay
So won't yah come back my ways
Come back my ways
Said come back my ways
Island hoppin, and I ain't stoppin till I reach my
Paradise
With my island girl where the thoughts are pure
Waves are mean and ah vibes are nice
All the people wave by happy I play with a smile
And it's so easy to just, get away
Scared for now I'm gunna leave this town
Country bound where the beauty surrounds
I

Cuz I don't want you to go away
Said I don't want you to go away hey now
Said I hate when you just can't stay
So won't you come back my ways
Come back my ways
Said come back my ways
I said now come back my ways
I said now come back my ways
I said now come back my
