The bus is pulling out and I guess I'd better go

Before I make a grave mistake and let my feelings show

And twenty miles away she waits alone for me

But when I try to picture her you're the one I see

And in another situation I could put up a fight

But you will be my downfall tonight



So the night is coming down, drowning us in blue

And it all points towards the things we know we shouldn't do

And as I look at you and I fall under your spell

Well I know I should be thinking of her lying there herself



And when faced with temptation you know a man should stand and fight

But you will be my downfall tonight



Be my downfall be my great regret be the one girl

That I'll never forget

Be my undoing be my slow road to ruin tonight



So the bus is pulling out and I'm grounded here with you

And I want to say the sweet things babe I've always wanted to

So tell me now the tail-lights have gone out of sight

Baby won't you be my downfall once again tonight
