WE NEED TO GET AWAY
Fran Powers-BMI/ Thad Taylor/ Alicia Ann Dzuick
Verse 1:
Darlin?, it?s after seven, no time to hesitate.
No time for breakfast, a kiss will make us late.
Can you dress the kids?
I?ll call you at five
I?m looking forward to dinner together,
And that long, peaceful drive,
WE NEED TO GET AWAY, We need some time alone,
WE NEED TO GET AWAY.
Verse 2:
Darlin? it?s after five, but I have to work real late.
Cancel dinner, postpone our date,
Pick up the kids, I?ll meet you at home.
We?ll warm something up and turn the T. V. on.
I know it?s not what I promised,
And it?s a promise that I?ve broken before.
I?ll make it up to you, honest,
It doesn?t mean that I don?t love you anymore.
Verse 3:
Darlin?, after eleven, the kids are finally in bed.
Another day gone, so much left unsaid
We work so hard to be happy,
But it all seems so routine.
We live together, yet separate,
No time in between,
WE NEED TO GET AWAY, Just you and me alone,
WE NEED TO GET AWAY, Some time to call our own
WE NEED TO GET AWAY, We need some time alone,
WE NEED TO GET AWAY
