Don't leave me this way
I can't survive, I can't stay alive
Without you love, oh baby
Don't leave me this way
I can't exist, I will surely miss
Your tender kiss
Don't leave me this way
Oh baby, my heart is full of love and desire for you
Now come on down and do what you've got to do
You started this fire down in my soul
Now can't you see it's burning, out of control
Come on and stisfy the need in me
Cos only your good loving can set me free
Don't leave me this way
Don't you understand I'm in your command
Oh baby please please don''t leave me this way, no baby
Don't leave me this way
I can't survive, I can't stay alive
Without you love, oh baby
Don't leave me this way
Oh baby, my heart is full of love and desire for you
Now come on down and do what you've got to do
You started this fire down in my soul
Now can't you see it's burning, out of control
Come on and stisfy the need in me
Cos only your good loving can set me free
