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...
