Don't leave me this way
I can't survive, I can't stay alive
Without your love, oh baby
Don't live me this way
I can't exist, I will surely miss
Your tender kiss
So don't leave me this way
Oh baby, my heart is full of love and
desire for you
So come on down and do what
you've got to do
Your started this fire down in my soul
Now can't you see it's burning, out of
control
So come on down and satisfy the
need in me
Cos only your good loving can set me
free
Don't leave me this way
I don't understand how I'm at your
command
So baby please don't leave me this
way.
Don't leave me this way
Cos I can't exist
I will surely miss
Your tender kiss
So don't leave me this way
Oh baby, my heart is full of love and
desire for you...
Don't leave me this way
Cos I can't survive, I can't stay alive
Without your love, oh baby
Don't live me this way
I can't exist, I will surely miss
Your tender kiss
So don't leave me this way
Oh baby, my heart is full of love and
desire for you..
