I'm Leaving You

Did anything we said last night
make any sense at all?
You said that you wanted me to stay.

It was crazy thinking that what
was there would last,
when I knew that I would go away.

This is just the thing I’ve done
to every single woman
I’ve held or ever made love to.

And I can see no reason why
I shouldn’t say good-bye.
So close your eyes, now that it’s light, I’m leaving you.

Sure we both were laughing and
the time we had was good,
but all good times must come to an end.

You will find yourself another
man another time
and maybe next time you will find a friend.

This is just the thing I’ve done
to every single woman
I’ve held or ever made love to.

And I can see no reason why
I shouldn’t say good-bye.
So turn your head, now that it’s light, I’m leaving you.

This is just the thing I’ve done
to every single woman
I’ve held or ever made love to.

And I can see no reason why
I shouldn’t say good-bye.
So turn your head, now that it’s light, I’m leaving you.

I’ve done this so many times,
too many times to know,
but I know I’ll do it all again.

I don’t know why I can’t stay
a part of someone else,
I guess it’s just the way it’s always been.

This is just the thing I’ve done
to every single woman
I’ve held or ever made love to.

And I can see no reason why
I shouldn’t say good-bye.
Forget last night, now that it’s light, I’m leaving you.

This is just the thing I’ve done
to every single woman
I’ve held or ever made love to.

And I can see no reason why
I shouldn’t say good-bye.
So turn your head, now that it’s light, I’m leaving you.

And I can see no reason why
I shouldn’t say good-bye.
So close your eyes, now that it’s light, I’m leaving you.
