Don’t Leave Me This Way

[Verse 1]
When I first met you, I felt the flames of desire
Felt like I’d known you for years, oh yes it did
But your heart grew colder through the fire
Left me holding back my tears

[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t expect you to understand
How these memories haunt my mind
Now I walk alone late at night
And I can’t, can’t stop from crying
Oh!

[Chorus]
Don’t leave me this way
Don’t leave me this way
Don’t leave me this way
Don’t leave me this way

[Verse 2]
You moved on but I keep holding on
To the sweet lies that will never be

[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t expect you to understand
How these memories haunt my mind
Now I walk alone late at night
And I can’t, can’t stop from crying
Oh!

[Chorus]
Don’t leave me this way
Don’t leave me this way
Don’t leave me this way
Don’t leave me this way

[Verse 3]
I’m trying, baby
I’m begging you
Can’t you see that I need you?
I want you in my life
What am I to do?
Don’t you leave me
I can’t take it
Don’t you leave me, woman
Don’t you leave me
I don’t know what I’m gonna do
I need you here by my side
