Lyrics
LEAVING GIRL
I'm not sure what I would do
If you're not with me and I'm not with you
Where would I go what could I say
When I'm all alone and I've lost my way
Leaving girl don't leave like this
Remember me always like a farewell kiss x2
No one to talk to or talk back to
The smiles on your face are increasingly few
I knew one day that you'd leave me
I agreed the price now I'll pay the fee
Leaving girl don't leave like this
Remember me always like a farewell kiss x2
I wouldn't trade the times we've seen
Fast becoming nothing but a dream
Those tears that I would feel on my face
Waiting all the time for the final embrace
Leaving girl don't leave like this
Remember me always like a farewell kiss x2
