Yeah, you're a savvy now, it's August up in Ithaca
We're drivin' fast, the windows down
I'm so in love with you
You're leanin' over, kiss my neck, boy, you're the only one
When I met you I was lost, you showed me how to trust
Baby, you know you're the only boy I've ever touched
I pray to God that in the end, yeah, it'll still be us

Why do you have to go and take a piece of my life
Cut me up with a knife? Now I'm all yours, baby
Why'd you have to go and make me feel so alive?
Now I'd rather die than to lose you, baby
It feels so good that it makes me sad
Oh, it terrifies me
If you leave one day, and you don't come back
Why do you have to go?

Now I'm fightin', and I'm cryin', layin' on the floor
I never thought I'd hurt this much
and, still, I need you more
I'll do anything, but please, just don't walk out the door
You held me close and told me that it's gonna be okay
The world goes quiet when you kiss me or whisper my name
I'll forgive you every time just for another day

Why do you have to go and take a piece of my life
Cut me up with a knife? Now I'm all yours, baby
Why'd you have to go and make me feel so alive?
Now I'd rather die than to lose you, baby
It feels so good that it makes me sad
Oh, it terrifies me
If you leave one day, and you don't come back
Why do you have to go?

Ooh-ooh
Boy, just kiss me like there's no tomorrow
Ooh-ooh
You could through hell and you know I'll follow

Why do you have to go and take a piece of my life
Cut me up with a knife? Now I'm all yours, baby
Why'd you have to go and make me feel so alive? (Ooh-ooh)
Now I'd rather die than to lose you, baby
It feels so good that it makes me sad
Oh, it terrifies me
If you leave one day, and you don't come back
Why do you have to go?
