Slip Away Lyrics by The Commitments

The Commitments

1991

What would I give
For just a few moments
What would I give
Just to have you near

Tell me you would try
To slip away somehow
Oh I need you darling
I want to see you right now

Can you slip away, slip away
Slip away, oh I need you so

Oh love oh love
How sweet it is
When you still involve it
Let me tell you how sweet it is

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

Could you slip away
Without him knowin you're gone?
Baby we could meet somewhere
Somewhere we both are not known

Can you slip away, slip away
Slip away-ay-ay-ay I need you so

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...
