1. Your father said you were forbidden
To see me or to take my calls
My reputation as a bad boy
Had your whole family climbing the walls .... 'cause ....

CHORUS:
You couldn't stay away, stay away, stay away from me
You couldn't stay away, stay away, stay away from me
Too long, long, long, long

2. The gossip says that I'm a rebel
But, none of that talk is really true
But, I'll admit that I went crazy
The moment I laid eyes on you

CHORUS:
I couldn't stay away, stay away, stay away from you
I couldn't stay away, stay away, stay away from you
Too long, long, long, long

BRIDGE:
I know we both want to run away
So, I'm working night and day
To plan for our escape

3. So, we'll just move up to Alaska
Las Vegas just ain't far enough
We're gonna pack my souped-up Chevy
And leave this town in a cloud of dust

CHORUS:
You couldn't stay away, stay away, stay away from me
You couldn't stay away, stay away, stay away from me
Too long, long, long, long
You couldn't stay away, You couldn't stay away
You couldn't stay away, You couldn't stay away
You couldn't stay away, You couldn't stay away
You couldn't stay away, You couldn't stay away
You couldn't stay away from me
