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
