If You Leave Me Now

Why are you leaving me now, boy?

We were not just lovers.

We were not just friends, boy.

The time we shared was not a simple love affair, no.

We learned about each other,

that you're so afraid of love, boy.

There is no one that could ever love me better, no.

Time and time again,

I thought you were my friend.

You say you gotta go

and I want you to know:

If you leave me now, boy,

(if you leave me now, boy)

I'll close my eyes and I'll just lay down and cry.

Why would you leave me now, boy,

(why would you leave me now, boy?)

after all the things that we've been through?

You say you're leavin' me now, boy,

(say you're leavin' me now, boy)

and when you're gone, what am I supposed to do?

And if you wanna come back to me,

I think you should know that I'll be loving you.

I'll be loving you.

No more changes for my life,

I pray to God that you'll come back to me.

When we're together, 

there's nothing better than loving you.

I wanna know why you're leaving, boy.

The love we had was an open door.

What happened to the dreams we shared together? 

No

Time and time again,

I thought you were my friend.

You say you gotta go

and I want you to know:

Why are you leaving me now, boy,

after all the things that we've been through?

(You know I love you).

You know, I still love you.

(You know I need you).

Time and time again,

I thought you were my friend.

You say you gotta go

and I want you to know.

If you leave me now, boy,

(if you leave me now, boy)

I'll close my eyes and I'll just lay down and cry.

Why would you leave me now, boy,

(why would you leave me now, boy?)

after all the things that we've been through?

You say you're leavin' me now, boy,

(say you're leavin' me now, boy)

and when you're gone, what am I supposed to do?

And if you wanna come back to me,

I think you should know that I'll be loving you.

If you leave me now, boy,

(if you leave me now, boy)

I'll close my eyes and I'll just lay down and cry.

Why would you leave me now, boy,

(why would you leave me now, boy?)

after all the things that we've been through?

You say you're leavin' me now, boy,

(say you're leavin' me now, boy)

and when you're gone, what am I supposed to do?

And if you wanna come back to me,

I think you should know that I'll be loving you.

If you leave me now, boy,

(if you leave me now, boy)

I'll close my eyes and I'll just lay down and cry.

Why would you leave me now, boy,

(why would you leave me now, boy?)

after all the things that we've been through?

You say you're leavin' me now, boy,

(say you're leavin' me now, boy)

and when you're gone, what am I supposed to do?

And if you wanna come back to me,

I think you should know that I'll be loving you.
