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
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
