[Verse]
We were not just lovers
We were not just friends, boy
The time we shared was not a simple love affair, no
We learned about each other
That you're so afraid of love, boy
There is no one that could ever love me better, no

[Pre-Chorus]
Time and time again
I thought you were my friend
You say you gotta go
And I want you to know

[Chorus]
If you leave me now, boy
(If you leave me now, boy)
I'll close my еyes and I'll just lay down and cry
Why would you leave mе now, boy
(Why would you leave me now, boy?)
After all the things that we've been through?
You say you're leavin' me now, boy
(Say you're leavin' me now, boy)
And when you're gone, what am I supposed to do?
And if you wanna come back to me
I think you should know that I'll be loving you
If you leave me now, boy
(If you leave me now, boy)
I'll close my eyes and I'll just lay down and cry
Why would you leave me now, boy
(Why would you leave me now, boy?)
After all the things that we've been through?
You say you're leavin' me now, boy
(Say you're leavin' me now, boy)
And when you're gone, what am I supposed to do?
And if you wanna come back to me
I think you should know that I'll be loving—
