Lyrics
No I'll never leave
No, I'll never leave you
No I'll never leave
I ain't going nowhere
It's time that we had a little talk together
Something's going on
But I'm away from you
Honey, honey
Now when we kiss (now when we kiss)
There's something better, yes
Where is the loving touch that I used to love oh so much
Now we've been together for so long (for so long)
I can read you like a book (like a book)
You are acting strange, I can't stand the pain
Are you too far gone to change?
(If you read between the lines)
You just never (you never know what you might find)
(Girl I'm never gonna leave you) girl I'm never
(Never gonna leave you, ooh)
(If you read between the lines) ooh
(You never know what you might find)
(Girl I'm never gonna leave you) no I never
(Never gonna leave you ooh) no I never gonna leave you
Now I might have been wrong every now and then
Neglected you (neglected you)
And put you through so many changes
I was trying to pursue (trying to pursue)
A better life for me and you
But misery loves company, try and understand
That I'm just a man trying to do (trying to do)
The very very best I can (best I can)
But what's the use if you're running loose
You only get out what you put in
(If you read between the lines)
You just never (you never know what you might find)
(Girl I'm never gonna leave you) I never, never baby
(Never gonna leave you, ooh)
Even a blind man can see (if you read between the lines)
That it's you I will never leave (you never know what you might find)
(Girl I'm never gonna leave you) never, never baby
(Never gonna leave you, ooh)
Yes, you've captured my heart (if you read between the lines)
From the very, very, very start (you never know what you might find)
'Cause girl (girl, I'm never gonna leave you)
(Never gonna leave you ooh) I'm never gonna go nowhere
(If you read between the lines) oh
(You never know what you might find)
(Girl I'm never gonna leave you) you can't leave me
(Never gonna leave you ooh) never gonna leave you
