Let me tell you   how sweet it is

[Verse]
Now I know it's wrong
The things I ask you to do
But please believe me darling
I don't mean to hurt you
But just can you slip away
Without him knowin you're gone
Baby we could meet somewhere,
Somewhere we both are not known

[Chorus]
Can you slip away, slip away,
Slip away-ay-ay-ay  I need you so

[Verse]
Oh can you slip away baby
I'd like to see you right now darling
Can you slip away baby
Cause I got to, got to see you
I feel a deep burning inside
Oh I wish you could slip away...
