"You Can't Leave"

Well, the way things have been goin', I guess we're better off this way
No, I just can't go on knowin' you don't feel the same
Yeah, but baby, right now I just can't see this through
You can't leave, 'cause I ain't lettin' go of you

Now, you say I act a child, oh and that may be
But that don't change the way you once felt for me
Yeah, so I tried to forget, but it ain't no use
You can't leave, 'cause I ain't lettin' go of you

Well now darlin', you can't just leave me like this
Well there ain't no tellin' what I might do
So I'm gonna make sure that you never forget the way that I loved you

So come on now, darlin', let's not make this hard
Well I know you got it somewhere down in your heart
Yeah, 'cause I just can't see life without those eyes of blue
You can't leave, 'cause I ain't lettin' go of you
No, you can't leave, 'cause I ain't lettin' go of you
