If You're Gonna Leave Me

(albüm: Homemade - 1971)

I'm used to disappointments, mending up my pride
I can take most anything and keep it all inside
But when it comes to losing the love I have for you
My old heart ain't big enough to keep from leaking through

If you're gonna leave me
Just come up missing yeah
Please, don't say goodbye
I can be strong but if it comes my love
I don't want you to see me cry

If it come time that you must go
Please, don't let me know
Just leave me a note by the kitchen door
That you're not coming home no more

Daddy told me you get what's coming to you or
I don't know what I did so wrong to cause my losing you
But if I hurt you, you decide you wanna go
Just do me a favor and go your way cause I really don't want to know

If you're gonna leave me
Just come up missing yeah
Please, don't say goodbye
I can be strong but if it comes my love I don't want you to see me cry

If you're gonna leave me
Just come up missing yeah
Please, don't say goodbye
I can be strong but if it comes my love
I don't want you to see me cry

If you're gonna leave me
Just come up missing yeah
Please, don't say goodbye
I can be strong but if it comes my love
