  • Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    One time, oh, oh

    We could sail away
    Or catch a freight train
    Or a rocketship into outer space
    Nothin' left to do
    Too many things were said
    To ever make it feel
    Like yesterday did

    Seasons must change
    Separate paths, separate ways
    If we blame it on anything
    Let's blame it on the rain

    I knew it all along
    I'd have to write this song
    Too young to fall in love
    Guess we knew it all along

    That's alright, that's okay
    We were walkin' through some youth
    Smilin' through the pain
    That's alright, that's okay
    Let's turn the page

    My friends called today
    Down from L.A.
    They were shooting pool all night
    Sleeping half of the day
    They said I could crash
    If I could find my own way
    I told them you were leaving
    On a bus to go away

    That's alright, that's okay
    We were two kids in love
    Trying to find our way
    That's alright, that's okay
    Held our dreams in our hands
    Let our minds run away
    That's alright, now that's okay
    We were walkin' through some youth
    Smilin' through the pain
    That's alright, let's turn the page
    And remember what I say, girl
    It goes this way, yeah

    Girl, don't go away mad
    Girl, just go away
    Girl, don't go away mad
    Now, girl, just go away
    Here we go

    Don't go way mad
    I don't want you mad
    Come on, girl
    Woo, ow
    Come on, baby, ow

    I said one more time
    Girl, don't go away mad (don't want you mad)
    Girl, just go away
    Girl, don't go away mad
    Girl, don't go away
    Girl, don't go away mad
    Girl, just go away
    Say, girl, don't go away mad
    And, girl, just go away
    And I said, girl, don't go away mad
    Girl, just go away, yeah
    Girl, don't go away mad
    Girl, just go away Writer/s: Mick Mars, Nikki Sixx

  • Garnet Twinkie from Maryland Actually at the end of the song he tells her don't go away mad, I want you to stay.
  • Jason from Denver, CoI think the movie Nikki Sixx was refering to is the 1986 Clint Eastwood movie Heartbreak Ridge.
    There is a line where Mario Van Peebles's character says to Moses Gunn's character something like "Why don't you take your ass back to that faggoty ass first platoon of yours and don't go away mad just go away"! Or maybe it was another movie
