I Can't Leave

(album: Oh Lonesome Me - 1958)

Well, I told you I was leaving you a long time ago
But I'm still here and I still love you so
And I can't leave no matter how hard I try
You know I love you, you know it's true
I just can't leave you no matter what you do
And I can't go no matter how hard I try

It's shame, oh shame you feel my pain running round on me
But I lost my pride, I'm still by your side and that's where I want to be

Well, maybe you'll change and maybe you won't
But I'll be here if you do or if you don't
'Cause I can't leave no matter how hard I try

It's a sad affair when the one you love don't even care about you
But why should I took blame, I love you just the same and that's all I want to do

Well, maybe you'll change and maybe you won't
But I'll be here if you do or if you don't
'Cause I can't leave no matter how hard I try
