[Verse 1]
GFeet don't fail me nDow
GTake me to the finish lDine
Oh, my heart, it Cbreaks every step that I tEmake
But I'm hoping that the Dgates,
They'll tell me that you're mine
GWalking through the city sDtreets
GIs it by mistake or desDign?
I feel so aClone on a Friday nEmight
Can you make it feel like Dhome, if I tell you you're mine?
It's like I told you, honey
[Chorus]
CDon't make me sEmad, don't make me cDry
Sometimes love is not eCnough and the road gets tough
I don't know Cwhy
Keep making me lEmaugh,
Let's go get hDigh
The road is long, we carry Con
Try to have fun in the meanCtime
Come and take a walk on the wild sideEm  
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring Drain
You like your girls inCmaj7sane
