Pretty lady make me crazy
Come stay with me a while
Want to know where time begins, yeah
Your life is shown through your smile
Take it easy, pretty lady
My meaning's very clear
The summer's gone
And it's gettin' cold, babe
When you call my name I won't be here

You know, I'm gonna leave you babe
And you know that I'm gonna leave
Yes I am

From a corner light
You call from the dark of night
Sounds so easy for you to please me, babe
And it sounds so right
Another night, another night to spend together
You’re makin' love all the while
Oh, it's really, really not make believe
When you touch that desert sky

You know I'm gonna leave you babe
And you know I'm gonna leave, leave, leave, leave
And you know I'm gonna leave
You know, yeah, babe, I'm gone

Alrighty drop down!

Now you’re struttin' before the sun
Can't you feel the flame?
You've been wastin', wastin' precious time
It'll never be the same
Now your head, now your head is pounding
The night is cold and blowing rain
The search is what a shadow you been missin'
One you'll never see again

You know I'm gonna leave you babe
And you know that I'm gonna leave
And you know that I’m gonna leave
You know, yeah, babe you know

Journey is an American rock band that formed in San Francisco in 1973, composed of former members of Santana and Frumious Bandersnatch. The band has gone through several phases; its strongest commercial success occurred while fronted by vocalist Steve Perry, from 1978 until the group’s disbandment in 1987. During that period, the band released a series of hit songs, including 1981’s “Don’t Stop Believin'”, which in 2009 became the top-selling track in iTunes history amongst songs not released in the 21st century. Its parent studio album, Escape, the band’s eighth and most successful, reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and yielded another of their most popular singles, “Open Arms”. Its 1983 follow-up album, Frontiers, was almost as successful in the United States, reaching No. 2 and spawning several successful singles; it broadened the band’s appeal in the United Kingdom, where it reached No. 6 on the UK Albums Chart. Journey enjoyed a successful reunion with Perry in the mid-1990s and later regrouped with a series of lead singers.
