There ain't no reason for me to hang around this town no more. I'm gonna pack it up, move on out, and start searchin' for the shore. Sell my life as I know it to anyone willing to buy, Cause it ain't worth much to me to stay here and sit around and cry. But if you think you're gonna miss me when I go, Speak now darlin' or you will never know.
Well I don't care if you like it 'cause honey this is not your life. I will never be held prisoner, I will never be your wife. I've learned that friends are overrated and lovers come and go, But if all you do is dream about it then you've got nothin' to show. But if you think you're gonna miss me when I go Speak now darlin' or you will never know.
For once the engine starts turnin' and these wheels they hit the road, I ain't ever comin' back to this town called Chicago. Oh, I'm leavin' it all behind me, there ain't no place that I call home. And I'm tearin' this heart right off of my sleeve and honey I'm turnin' it into stone. And I think I'm gonna miss you when I go So kiss me once, kiss me twice, Maybe I'll stay for just one more night. And honey, say what you feel; please mean what you say… I wanna hold onto you one more day. But if you think you're gonna miss me when I go Speak now darlin' or you will never know Oh, speak now darlin' or you will never know Oh, speak now darlin' or you will never, you will never know
