You promised me you'd tell her
How our love got it's start.
But I know your reputation boy,
You're afraid you'll break her heart.
You're still kissing her hand,
And you know, you know, you know, that just ain't right.
How can you love me all day long?
And cry with her all through the night?
You'll never leave her,
Oh! You'll never leave her,
You'll never leave her cause you need her too much,
Oh, no no no
You'll never leave her,
Oh! You'll never leave her.
You've grown accustomed to the warmth of her touch.
You said you'd tell her Friday,
All you wanted was more time,
But now this is Sunday, baby,
And I'm going out of my mind!
You tell me you love me,
I think I believe it's true,
But even waiting for you all my life,
Tell me what good would it do?
You'll never leave her,
Oh! You'll never leave her,
You'll never leave her cause she needs you too much,
Oh, no no no
You'll never leave her,
Oh! You'll never leave her.
You've grown accustomed to the warmth of her touch.
You'll never leave her,
Oh! You'll never leave her,
You'll never leave her cause she needs you too much,
Oh, no no no
