When He Leaves You

Brenda Lee · Other Songs - Brenda Lee

(Kent Robbins - Mike Reid)



I come here as a friend

Though I don't really know you

I know you're in love with him

And he's made your world brand new

I know you think he love you

And he may believe it too

But pour some coffee and I'll tell you

What you'll soon be going through.



When he leaves you

It's gonna more than break your heart

When he leaves you

It's gonna tear your world apart

You're gonna cry a million teardrops

One for every shattered dream

When he leaves you and comes back home to me.



I've known him all these years

Honey, this time's not the first time

I paid for loving him with tears

And when it's over he'll be mine

Oh I can see that I've upset you

Guess I'm a fool to try to help

But when it comes to hearts and heartaches

You've gotta find out for yourself.



'Cause when he leaves you

It's gonna more than break your heart

When he leaves you

It's gonna tear your world apart

You're gonna cry a million teardrops

One for every shattered dream

When he leaves you

And comes back home to me.



When he leaves you and comes back home to me...
