Leave Me Alone
Natalie Imbruglia · Left Of The Middle [1997]
It don't work like that
I want you to love me but you don't wanna love me
I'm losing patience now
(Oh)
(Leave me alone)
Oh
Leave me alone
Stop asking for more
I'm going home on my own
(Oh)
(Leave me alone)
Oh
Leave me alone
I'm walking out of the door
I'll make it on my own
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Just leave me alone
You like me to stroke you
Careful I don't choke you
Did you read my mind
You say don't be blue
Is that the best you can do
I've lost my patience now
(Oh)
(Leave me alone)
Oh
Leave me alone
Stop asking for more
I'm going home on my own
(Oh)
(Leave me alone)
Oh
Leave me alone
I'm walking out of the door
I'll make it on my own
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Just leave me alone
Da de da de da de da da
(Oh)
(Leave me alone)
Oh
Leave me alone
Stop asking for more
I'm going home on my own
(Oh)
(Leave me alone)
Oh
Leave me alone
I'm walking out of the door
I'll make it on my own
(Oh)
(Leave me alone)
Oh
Leave me alone
Stop asking for more
I'm going home on my own
(Oh)
(Leave me alone)
Oh
Leave me alone
I'm walking out of the door
I'll make it on my own
