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.

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.

don’t fly away [x3]

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.

like a hummingbird in flight you are,
hovering, hovering near me,
as i move near, you fly away.
like a hummingbird in flight you are,
hovering, hovering near me,
as i move near, you fly away.

don’t fly away [x5]

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.

like a hummingbird in flight you are,
hovering, hovering ’round me,
as i move near, you fly away.
like a hummingbird in flight you are,
hovering, hovering ’round me,
as i move near, you fly away.

don’t fly away [x5]
