I'll Leave the Leavin' Up to You

Loretta Lynn · Somebody Somewhere [1976]

(Lomar Morris - Ken Jones)



Lately we don't talk much lately we don't love much

We're just goin' through the motions when we do

A good warm love turnin' colder how it's everything but over

So I'm gonna leave the leavin' up to you.



I'm not strong enough to walk away

I'm much too weak from all the love I gave

'Cause breakin' chains untyin' strings is somethin' I can't do

So I'm gonna leave the leavin' up to you.



But now there's somethin' in you that makes my touch offend you

And the little smiles I see are less than few

But I'd never try to hold you to the things that we both swore to

So I'm gonna leave the leavin' up to you...
