[Verse 1]
Take what you need and leave the rest
No, I don't mind, no I don't mind
I'll get this off my chest
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
Come flying in and then again
I'm not here long enough to pretend that I seem so well
There's nowhere else you'd rather be
[Chorus]
Like a hummingbird in flight you are
Hovering, hovering 'round me
And I move near, you fly away
Like a hummingbird in flight you are
Hovering, hovering near me
As I move near, you fly away
[Post-Chorus]
Don't fly away
Don't fly away
Don't fly away
[Verse 2]
What can I say, you have to wait
You find it hard to say and to articulate
I know there's nowhere else you'd rather be
It seems so clear, I know we're through
Yet all I wanna do is make love to you
I know there's nowhere else you'd rather be
[Chorus]
Like a hummingbird in flight you are
Hovering, hovering 'round me
And I move near, you fly away
Like a hummingbird in flight you are
Hovering, hovering near me
As I move near, you fly away
[Post-Chorus]
Don't fly away
Don't fly away
Don't fly away
Don't fly away
Don't fly away
[Bridge]
Buzzing around my head
Things you have done, the words you have said
Remember me, after you've left
I'll try but I can't forget
[Chorus]
Like a hummingbird in flight you are
Hovering, hovering 'round me
And I move near, you fly away
Like a hummingbird in flight you are
Hovering, hovering near me
As I move near, you fly away
[Post-Chorus]
Don't fly away
Don't fly away
Don't fly away
Don't fly away
Don't fly away
Take what you need and leave the rest
No, I don't mind, no I don't mind
I'll get this off my chest
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
Come flying in and then again
I'm not here long enough to pretend that I seem so well
There's nowhere else you'd rather be
[Chorus]
Like a hummingbird in flight you are
Hovering, hovering 'round me
And I move near, you fly away
Like a hummingbird in flight you are
Hovering, hovering near me
As I move near, you fly away
[Post-Chorus]
Don't fly away
Don't fly away
Don't fly away
[Verse 2]
What can I say, you have to wait
You find it hard to say and to articulate
I know there's nowhere else you'd rather be
It seems so clear, I know we're through
Yet all I wanna do is make love to you
I know there's nowhere else you'd rather be
[Chorus]
Like a hummingbird in flight you are
Hovering, hovering 'round me
And I move near, you fly away
Like a hummingbird in flight you are
Hovering, hovering near me
As I move near, you fly away
[Post-Chorus]
Don't fly away
Don't fly away
Don't fly away
Don't fly away
Don't fly away
[Bridge]
Buzzing around my head
Things you have done, the words you have said
Remember me, after you've left
I'll try but I can't forget
[Chorus]
Like a hummingbird in flight you are
Hovering, hovering 'round me
And I move near, you fly away
Like a hummingbird in flight you are
Hovering, hovering near me
As I move near, you fly away
[Post-Chorus]
Don't fly away
Don't fly away
Don't fly away
Don't fly away
Don't fly away
