Don't Leave Me This Way

(album: Don't Leave Me This Way - 1980)

The door is closed again
Closed on me
And here I am alone again
Not a soul to see
I'm on my own now
Didn't work out right
My bed is cold as ice
You're out there in the night

Ooh, can't get you off my mind
Ooh, my heart is on the line
And it happens every time

Don't leave me this way, baby
Don't leave me this way
Need you more than I can ever say
Do you have to stay away for so long

I thought we had it all there was something there
But I made my first mistake
When I thought you cared
I wanted it to be so right
Guess I tried too hard
I'm laying alone and sleep won't come
I wonder where you are

Ooh, can't get you off my mind
Ooh, you know my heart is on the line
And it happens every time

Don't leave me this way, baby
Don't leave me this way
Need you more than I can ever say
Do you have to stay away so long

I'm on my own now
Didn't work out right
My bed is cold as ice
You're out there in the night
