Leave Me

Hollies · Clarke Hicks & Nash Years [2011]

Leave me, if it gives you satisfaction

Slander my name all over the place

Don't you have an inclination?

You're gonna ruin a reputation, leave me



Tell me, now I've got you in the corner

Won't you admit you've been telling me lies?

I don't care about you

I'll get along without, just leave me



It's so hard to please you, yeah

(Hard to please)

Tease you

(Hard to tease)



Leave me, I don't ever want you near me

Pack all your things and get out of my sight

Your love was made of sand

I've had all I can stand, leave me



It's so hard to please you, yeah

(Hard to please)

Tease you

(Hard to tease)



Leave me, I don't ever want you near me

Pack all your things and get out of my sight

Your love was made of sand

I've had all I can stand, leave me



You've got to leave me, baby

Come on, now

You've got to leave me, baby
