I've been trying hard to see
Just what you want of me
But it's no good boy
I'm setting you free
'Cause I need you so much more
With each day that passes by
You don't seem to care
It's making me cry
So I'm packing up my bags
Gonna make my getaway
Get myself together
I can't go on this way
Oh, baby, baby
I'm gonna leave you
I'm gonna leave you, baby
This lonely feeling deep in my mind
'Cause I can't turn back
If I leave you behind
But I gotta do it now
Yes, I gotta turn away
Hold me one more time
Don't ask me to stay
It's so hard so say goodbye
But it's you I'm thinking of
It would never work out
I know you're not in love with me
Oh, baby
I'm gonna leave you
Said, I'm gonna leave you
It's over and I'm walking out on you
You'll never get the chance to feel untrue
Though I love you
And I need you
And I want you
I'm still walking out on you
Darling, though it hurts me so inside
I can't take no more
Gonna lose my mind
So I'm packing up my bags
Gonna make my getaway
Get myself together
I can't go on this way
Oh, baby, baby
I'm gonna leave you
Said I'm gonna leave you, baby
Yes I'm gonna leave you, baby
Oh, I'm gonna leave you baby
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
