Steel Magnolia - Not Tonight Lyrics

If I were stronger I'd just let you leave
You'd say it's over and I would just agree
Then I'd tell you I wish you the best, I really do
You deserve happiness, I can't give you what you need
You can leave, just not tonight

I'm not ready to lay this down
I'm too stubborn to quit you now
There's a voice somewhere deep inside of my mind
Saying it's too soon to let you go tonight
I'm in no hurry to hear goodbye
Why can't it wait till the morning light?
We can come undone some other time
Just not tonight

Before the stars go out, before we disappear
Let me hold you now, rest your head, right here
But I can't live without you to make your love come back
What can I say to make you stop
Here in your tracks, I know you're staring at the wrong way, as tonight

I'm not ready to lay this down
I'm too stubborn to quit you now
There's a voice somewhere deep inside of my mind
Saying it's too soon to let you go tonight

I'm in no hurry to hear goodbye
Why can't it wait till the morning light?
We can come undone some other time
Just not tonight

Not tonight

I'm not ready to lay this down
I'm too stubborn to quit you now
There's a voice somewhere deep inside of my mind
Saying it's too soon to let you go tonight
I'm in no hurry to hear goodbye
Why can't it wait till the morning light?
We can come undone some other time
Just not tonight

Not tonight
Just not tonight

If I were stronger I'd just let you leave
You'd say it's over and I would just agree
