If You Gonna Leave (Just Leave)

(альбом: Standing Ovation - 1971)

How, how, how can you walk out on me
Then turn around and place all the blame on me
How can you say that I never care
I didn't leave you darling
I didn't go anywhere
And I hate every morning
And I open my eyes and I didn't see you
Oh...

If you're gonna leave just go and leave
And I won't ask you where
Sick and tired of being torn to pieces
Pieces little bit, little bit
Little bitty pieces

Oh, I poured all my love to you
Like water from a well
But my love soon dried up
Being torn between heaven and hell
Just say my actions don't give no satisfaction
Maybe babe, just tried a little
To satisfy you

In the passing marriage
You always had your way
But this one time, honey
I'm not gonna give you the same, so

If you're gonna leave just go and leave
And I won't ask you where
Sick and tired of being torn to pieces
Pieces little bit, little bit
Little bitty pieces

Oh!
Oh, you can't kill a power
Then want it back to life
And you sure can't kill this love of ours
And expect it not to die
Never thought I'd be strong enough to say goodbye to you
I guess I had to hurt long enough
To really say we're through

In the passing marriage
You always had your way
But this one time, honey
I'm not gonna give you the same, so

If you're gonna leave just go and leave
And I won't ask you where
Sick and tired of being torn to pieces
Pieces little bit, little bit
Little bitty pieces

If you're gonna leave just go and leave
Said I'm sick and tired of being torn to pieces, little pieces
If you're gonna leave...
