Intro: verse 1 Well 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 (Intro variation 1) verse 2 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 (Intro variation 2) Middle 8 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 (Intro variation 3) 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 Outro 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 (Intro variation 4)
