I Have To Leave

This time I have to leave

It's all too clear, it's plain to see

No use in hangin' 'round

Like a dog that whines and cries

This time I have to leave



Did you hear that I'm attached?

I'm on a dead end path

Can't you see it hurts me so?

But I really got to go

This time I have to leave



I'm gonna disappear

I stayed too long, I'll shake my tears

He gave your all, we weren't shy

But thanks again, it's been nice

But this time I have to leave



It's all to clear, it's plain to see

No use in hangin' 'round

Tell me I'm outta bounds

This time I have to leave



Well, it looks as though I'll be gone for a while

So try not to get too riled

There'll be another time when we can unwind

But I got to get it on down the line



This time I have to leave

It's all too clear, it's plain to see

No use in hangin' 'round

You'll get by somehow

This time I have to leave



But love won't go away

I'm feelin' I got to stay

And go on livin' a lie

With you I know there's no goodbye



This time I have to leave

It's all too clear, it's plain to see

No use in hangin' 'round

After all, anyway, anyhow

This time I have to leave



This time I have to leave

This time I have to leave

This time I have to leave

This time I have to leave
