you been out, round, all over town
baby that’s what i hear
when i ring phone, nobody home
baby that’s what i fear
many a boy’s got your number
many boys know the lines
i’ve been away from you so long
is it just a matter of time
don’t leave me
don’t leave me this way
you told me love brings all of the things
to fill your wants and needs
but now you’re running, playing, all of the same
telling me that you were never pleased
well i never broke no promise
but i’ve been breaking my bones
to give everything in the world to you
baby what’s going wrong
don’t leave me
don’t leave me this way
yeah my baby’s been gone for a long time
i said ah no ah no ah no baby
don’t leave me this way
