So You’re Leaving Songtext
von Al Green

So you′re leaving me today
Just because of what they say
You took their word against mine
A friend who lies sometimes

Before you walk out the door
Let me say just once more
There, you don't want for me
Open your eyes, can′t you see?

I know you're leavin' me
Yeah, baby
Now you wanna, you wanna leave me
Yeah, baby

I′m tryin′ to find a way
That I can make you stay
You won't hear a word, I say
I think you wanna leave me anyway


Go on, don′t break their hearts
I knew right from the start
If they lie on Jesus
Can't you see, they′ll lie on you with me

Now you're leavin′ me
Hey, baby
Now you're leavin' me
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I wanna say, my darlin′, take my life
You can stay and be my wife
You just feel like mine
And our hearts beat right on time

So, go on, don′t break their hearts
I knew from the start
If they lie on Jesus
Can't you see, they′ll lie on you and me

Now you're leavin′ me
Why, you wanna convince them?
Now why you're leavin′ me?
Hey, baby


Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (oh, yeah)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (one more time)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (na-na-na-na, say)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

I wanna know why you're leavin' me?
Why don′t you c′mon back, babe
Ain't no sense in leavin′ me
Hey baby

I want to be your leadin' man
Why you, why you wanna go?
Why you, why you, why you?
Why you leavin′ me?

Hey baby, I wanna know who you love?
Tell me who you love?
I wanna know who you love?
Now you're leavin′, I wanna know

Now you're leavin' me?
Why you, why you wanna go? Hey baby, woo
Why you wanna go? I wanna know
Why you wanna go?

Tell me, tell me
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
