[Verse 1]
It's getting late, cold outside
The moon is shining, crescent smile
But I have to do what I was meant to do
But here I lie, I can't decide
I know it's over, but why do I remain here with you?
I don't know what to do
[Chorus]
Well good night and good luck, baby
I could stay here with you, but my whole life was waiting
And I can do without you
[Verse 2]
I close the door, leave you behind
You'll be asleep, you'll be just fine
'Cause I have to do what I was meant to do
You'll understand, I hope and pray
You'll know exactly why I couldn't stay
Oh, why must I choose?
Either way I lose
[Chorus]
Well good night and good luck, baby
I could stay here with you, but my whole life was waiting
And I can do without you
