[Verse 1]
If you leave me
Leave me guessing darling
Then I guess you're not for me
When you're talking
Talking with an old friend
And you decide you must be free

[Chorus 1]
Tell me why, why woman
Can we leave a good thing be?
Tell me why, why woman
Did you give up so easily?

[Verse 2]
When you're looking
Looking for some heat now
And I'm as cold as cold can be
And you're talking
Talking about a change now
But those changes aren't with me

[Chorus 2]
Tell me why, why woman
Can we just leave a good thing be?
Tell me why, why woman
Can we just be happy?
[Bridge]
Better leave it alone
Let it work out by itself
My friends keep telling me, no
Why she's not with nobody else
Oh but I don't know

[Chorus 3]
Tell me why, why woman
Can we just leave a good thing be?
Tell me why, why woman
Just stick around and work it out with me
