Lyrics
Don't leave me this way
I can't survive, I can't stay alive
Without you love, oh baby
Don't leave me this way
I can't exist, I will surely miss
Your tender kiss
So don't leave me this way, no
Don't leave me this way
A broken man with empty hands
Oh baby please, please
Don't leave me this way
Oh baby, my heart is full of love and desire for you
So come on down and do what you've got to do
You started this fire down in my soul
Now can't you see it's burning, out of control
Now come down and satisfy the need in me
'Cause only your good loving can set me free, free free
Don't leave me this way
'Cause it would be wrong
To string along with love so true
Don't leave me this way
I don't understand how I'm at your command
Oh baby please, please don't leave me this way
Don't leave me this way
I can't survive, can't stay alive
Without your love
Don't leave me this way
Oh baby, my heart is full of love and desire for you
Now come on down and do what you've got to do
You started this fire down in my soul
Now can't you see it's burning outta control?
Now come down and satisfy the need in me
'Cause only your good loving can set me free
I need it right now, I said I need
I I I I need your loving baby
Please, your love, please, please your love
Please, please your love (your love is so important)
Please, please your love (important to me)
Please, please your love (love me back)
Please, please your love (love me back, need me back)
Please, please your love (see I love you)
Please, please your love (I need you)
Please, please your love (what can I do)
Please, please your love (don't stop, don't stop)
Please, please your love (like this baby, no)
Please, please your love (no, you know I need it)
Please, please your love (say I need it say it say I need it)
Please, please your love (oh-oh)
Please, please your love (oh-oh)
Please, please your love (not now, not now)
Please, please your love (not now, baby)
Please, please your love
Well well
Well well well
See well
I don't you you to go
See I love you you can't go
Would you stay with me
Stay stay with me
Baby please, yea
Baby please, yea
