Collect yourself, it’s a hot day outside Nevermind the sweat in your makeup Or the hair in your eyes You’re beautiful, divinely understated You live with every heartbeat And love with every breath
And I think, oh, let the girl go home…
Adjust your dress, and slide on your shoes Take as long as one life allows you If that’s what you choose And who’d have known That you were all my missing pieces Who’d have known that Heaven felt like this
And I think, oh, leave the girl alone Oh, let the girl go home
Collect your things, and leave while you can Don’t forget your purse on your shoulder And my heart in your hand And there you go, lighting up the doorway But leave me in this moment Before the light fades
And I think, oh, leave the girl alone Oh, let the girl go home And I think, oh, leave the girl alone Oh, let the girl go home
