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

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

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
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


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
