You say although your love for me is strong
That a lover under seventeen is wrong
Another night goes by
and I awake enveloped in your arms
You won't wake up your mind
because my helplessness turns you on

If you leave now, baby don't come back,
If you leave baby don't come back(x2)

Chorus
January's just around the corner
I know that you'll be back by then
I'm counting down the days on my calendar
till loving me won't be a "sin"

I thought that after all we've seen (and done)
that your "battle with morality" was won
You've already crossed the line-
You might as well just wait it out
I haven't got the time
to be led in and then be shut out
So if you leave now, baby don't come back,
if you leave, baby don't come back

Chorus

I don't want you to leave, but I need you to know
that I can only take so much of all your come and go
So stick around and they'll be no more reason for concern
Because your baby will be legal when the season turns

Chorus
