we can call mrs . johnson to keep the kids a day or two .

take the early flight to florida , just the way we used to do .
Em A7 D
have room service bring us breakfast , make love all through the day .
Em A7 D
if we’re not back in love by monday , we can go our sep’rate ways .

chorus :
G D
if we’re not back in love by monday we can’t say we didn’t try .
Em A7 D
just before we bury our love , let’s make sure we’ve let die .
G D
sleep a few more nights together , say the things we used to say
Em A7 D
if we’re not back in love by monday , we can go our sep’rate ways .

Em A7 D
we could find that little cafe with funny sounding name .
Em A7 D
get the table by the window , i’ll say i love you once again .

if the vi’lin player’s still there , we’ll dance until the break of day .
Em A7 D
if we’re not back in love by monday , we can go our sep’rate ways .

chorus G D
if we’re not back in love by monday we can’t say we didn’t try .
Em A7 D
just before we bury our love , let’s make sure we’ve let die .

sleep a few more nights together , say the things we used to say
Em A7 D
if we’re not back in love by monday , we can go our sep’rate ways .
