So you're leaving me today
Just because of what they say
You took their word against mine
A friend who lies some time
Before you walk out the door
Let me say just once more
There, you don't want for me
Open your eyes, can't you see
You ain't leavin' me
Yeah, baby
You wanna leave me
Yeah, baby
I'm a find a way
That i can make you stay
You won't hear a word i say
And you wanna leave me anyway
So, don't break their hearts
I knew right from the start
If they lie on jesus, can't you see
They'll lie on you and me
Are you leavin' me?
Hey, baby
Are you leavin' me?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
I wanna say
My darlin', take my life
You can stay and be my wife
You just deal like mine
And our hearts beat right on time
So, go on, don't break their hearts
I knew from the start
If they lie on jesus, can't you see
They'll lie on you and me
Are you leavin' me?
I don't wanna ...
Are you leavin' me?
Hey, baby
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I wanna know
Are you leavin' me?
Why don't ya c'mon back, babe
There's no sense in leavin' me
Hey baby
I want to be your leadin' man
Are you wanna go?
Are you wanna go?
Are you leavin' me?
Hey baby
I wanna know who you love
Baby, who you love,
I wanna know who you love
Are you leavin'?
Wanna know, are you leavin' me?
Are you, are you wanna go? hey baby
Whoo
Are ya wanna go, i wanna know
Do you wanna go?
Tell me, tell me
Who you love
Who you love
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
