"When You Leave" lyrics

"When You Leave"

They'll be breaking out the hard stuff when you leave
They'll be breaking out the chit chat when you leave
They'll be breaking out the making out when you leave

They can't wait, they can't wait

They'll be breaking out the X-Box when you leave
They'll be breaking out the Courvoisier when you leave
They'll be breaking out every Belgian beer when you leave

They can't wait, they can't wait

I'm gonna stay just to annoy them
I'm gonna stay just to piss them off
I'm gonna stay just to amuse myself
I'm gonna stay, I'm gonna stay

They'll be breaking out the good music when you leave
The Stylistics, The Spinners, The Delfonics
And they'll keep on, keep on making out when you leave

They can't wait, they can't wait

There'll be red wine on all the carpets when you leave
There'll be salsa on all the carpets when you leave
There'll be God knows what other liquids when you leave

They can't wait, they can't wait

I'm gonna stay just to annoy them
I'm gonna stay just to toy with them
I'm gonna stay, they can't push me around
I'm gonna stay, stay all the way

They'll be talking behind your back when you leave
How you couldn't take the hint and just leave
They invited you then regretted it, he won't leave
Big mistake, big mistake

They can't wait, they can't wait
They can't wait, they can't wait
They can't wait, they can't wait
They can't wait, they can't wait

They'll be swinging from the chandeliers when you leave
They'll be putting on Mickey Mouse ears when you leave
While they act out scenes from King Lear when you leave
There goes one of the chandeliers when you leave

I'm gonna stay, I'm gonna stay
I'm gonna stay, I'm gonna stay
I'm gonna stay, I'm gonna stay
(They'll be breaking out the making out when you leave)
I'm gonna stay, I'm gonna stay
(They'll be breaking out the making out when you leave)
