Don't go so far away love, try to settle down   For losing you would be more than I could bear   Tho' I'm tied to another, I hope someday she'll set me free   For I don't want a cheap love affair      I knew we loved each other the night that we first met   It just happened there was nothing we could do   Let me stay with my children 'til they can understand   That I love them and they'll know I love you too      Don't go so far away love, try to settle down   For losing you would be more than I could bear   Tho' I'm tied to another, I hope someday she'll set me free   For I don't want a cheap love affair      So darling please forgive me, don't give me all the blame   Tho' I know that it doesn't seem so fair   When I'm free I'll make you happy if you'll only wait for me   But I don't want a cheap love affair      Don't go so far away love, try to settle down   For losing you would be more than I could bear   Tho' I'm tied to another, I hope someday she'll set me free   For I don't want a cheap love affair
