I Hate To See You Go

(앨범: Lion's Share - 1972)

It's hard to be a friend, easy to be unkind
You treat me like a stranger and I can understand
'Cause you're a lonely woman and I'm a traveling man, well

Looking through the window, I saw you wave goodbye
I tried to raise a smile, all I could do was cry
A man needs a woman to stand by his side
And I need you to keep me satisfied

Well, I hate to see you cry, wipe the water from your eye
I'd love to hear you say, you need me anyway
There's one thing you should know
I hate to see, hate to see you go

Well, if you ever leave me, I'll be the one to blame
But I never gambled to play a losing game
My cards are on the table, I ain't a cheating man
I'm living for your loving, I hope you understand

Well, I hate to see you cry, wipe the water from your eye
I'd love to hear you say, you need me anyway
There's one thing you should know
I hate to see, hate to see you go

All the miles between us, you and I
All the lonely nights we sat and cried
Too many to replace and it's too hard to erase
I don't know what to do, well I don't know what to do, no

Looking through the window, I saw you wave goodbye
I tried to raise a smile, all I could do was cry
A man needs a woman, I want you to know
Well, I need you, I hate to see you go

It's hard to be a friend, easy to be unkind
You treat me like a stranger and I can understand
