Lyrics Camellia - Daryl Hall & John Oates

Opening night, nothing new Atlanta
Into the spotlight, one more time
Just in time to play
To one man and an empty table
He was drinking down the pain
All he could say was this lady's name
And I heard him call

Oh, Camellia, won't you take me away?
Oh, Camellia, won't you take me away?

After the show (oh) when the room was empty
No, he wouldn't go
So I asked him why he called her name?
It seems she was some magic one night
With something for his pain
But all she left was a pretty name

Oh, Camellia, won't you take me away to paradise tropical moon?
Don't you leave me sitting here in Atlanta, oh
Oh, Camellia, won't you take me away to paradise tropical moon?
Don't you leave me sitting here in Atlanta (say, say, say yeah)
Ooh, Camellia (ooh)

Oh, Camellia, won't you take me away to paradise tropical moon?
Don't you leave me sitting here in Atlanta (in Atlanta)
Oh, Camellia, won't you take me away to paradise tropical moon?
Don't you leave me (don't you leave me)

Don't you leave me (don't you leave me)
Don't you leave in a–
Oh, Camellia, won't you take me away to paradise tropical moon?
