Pack me up and keep me hidden somewhere that you can find me
On this train to Paris going nowhere, trouble is behind me

Bring it back to me, bring it back to me

Don't be gone too long (too long)
Cause you won't be there to love me when you're gone
Don't be gone too long (too long)
Tell me who's gonna love me when you're gone

Don't be gone too long (too long)
Cause you won't be there to love me when you're gone
Don't be gone too long (too long)
Tell me who's gonna love me when you're gon
