If I Gotta Leave

(album: If Not For You - 1971)

They could never take you away from me
Oh baby, never replace the tenderness of your smile
I couldn't leave now if I wanted to
Everything I do I wanna do with you
Oh no, baby
If I gotta leave
I wanna leave with you

They could offer me the world and all its gold
Oh baby, put me on a ship that's sailing out to sea
Set me down on a lonely track
But I'd find a way to come running back
Oh no, baby
If I gotta leave
I wanna leave with you

They may try to find a way to deep us from each other
Try to find a way to keep us far apart
But there's nowhere in the world they could send me to
To keep my love away from you
Oh no, baby
If I gotta leave
I wanna leave with you
I really wanna leave with you
I really wanna leave with you
