[Verse 1: John Oates, Hall and 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 his lady's name
And I heard him call

[Chorus: Hall and Oates]
Oh, Camellia
Won't you take me away?
Oh, Camellia
Won't you take me away?

[Verse 2: Daryl Hall, Hall and Oates]
After the show, when the room was empty
No, he wouldn't go, so I asked him why he called her name
Seems she was a magic one-night
With something for his pain
And all she left was a pretty name

[Chorus: Daryl Hall and John Oates, Hall and Oates]
Oh, Camellia
Won't you take me away
To paradise tropical moon?
Don't you leave me sitting here in Atlanta, no
Oh, Camellia
Won't you take me away
To paradise tropical moon?
Don't you leave me sitting here in Atlanta
(Say it, say it, say it, yeah)
Ohhh, Camellia
[Chorus: Daryl Hall and John Oates, Hall and Oates]
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?

[Outro: Daryl Hall and John Oates, Hall and Oates]
Don't you leave me (Don't you leave me)
Don't you leave me (Don't you leave me)
Don't you leave
Oh, Camellia
Won't you take me away
To paradise tropical moon?
