[Verse 1]
Can't seem to get my mind off of you
Back here at home there's nothin' to do, ooh
Now that I'm away
I wish I'd stayed
Tomorrow's a day of mine that you won't be in
[Verse 2]
When you looked at me I should've run
But I thought it was just for fun
I see I was wrong
And I'm not so strong
I should have known all along that time would tell
[Pre-Chorus]
A week without you
Thought I'd forget
Two weeks without you and I still haven't gotten over you yet
[Chorus]
Vacation, all I ever wanted
Vacation, had to get away
Vacation, meant to be spent alone
Vacation, all I ever wanted
Vacation, had to get away
Vacation, meant to be spent alone
[Pre-Chorus]
A week without you
Thought I'd forget
Two weeks without you and I still haven't gotten over you yet
[Chorus]
Vacation, all I ever wanted
Vacation, had to get away
Vacation, meant to be spent alone
Vacation, all I ever wanted
Vacation, had to get away
Vacation, meant to be spent alone
[Outro]
Vacation, all I ever wanted
Vacation, had to get away
Vacation, meant to be spent alone
Can't seem to get my mind off of you
Back here at home there's nothin' to do, ooh
Now that I'm away
I wish I'd stayed
Tomorrow's a day of mine that you won't be in
[Verse 2]
When you looked at me I should've run
But I thought it was just for fun
I see I was wrong
And I'm not so strong
I should have known all along that time would tell
[Pre-Chorus]
A week without you
Thought I'd forget
Two weeks without you and I still haven't gotten over you yet
[Chorus]
Vacation, all I ever wanted
Vacation, had to get away
Vacation, meant to be spent alone
Vacation, all I ever wanted
Vacation, had to get away
Vacation, meant to be spent alone
[Pre-Chorus]
A week without you
Thought I'd forget
Two weeks without you and I still haven't gotten over you yet
[Chorus]
Vacation, all I ever wanted
Vacation, had to get away
Vacation, meant to be spent alone
Vacation, all I ever wanted
Vacation, had to get away
Vacation, meant to be spent alone
[Outro]
Vacation, all I ever wanted
Vacation, had to get away
Vacation, meant to be spent alone
