[Verse 1]
Oooh, girl, I've tried so many, many times
I can't seem to do nothin' right, oh, no
But, I got to get a hold of myself
I can't lose your love to nobody else

[Chorus]
Girl, I believe (I believe)
I surely do believe (I surely do believe)
You're leaving me (You're leaving me)
You're leaving me (You're leaving me)

[Verse 2]
You got me worried
You got me walkin' the floor
If you were leaving baby
I can't let you go, can't let you go
Without your love (Without your love)
I would lose my mind (Lose my mind)
I can't stand you leaving, leavin' me behind

[Chorus]
Girl, I believe (I believe)
I surely do believe (I surely do believe)
You're leaving me (You're leaving me)
You're leaving me (You're leaving me)
Maybe I'm the only one to know (To know about it)
Good God, I know you're leaving me, you're leaving me
[Bridge]
That changes things, is what the old folks say
And, I believe that, too
And, girl I pray, oh, I pray, both night and day
Aw, yes
Making you happy (Making you happy)
Is my only dream (Only dream)
No matter how unreal it may seem

[Chorus]
Girl, I believe (I believe)
I surely do believe (I surely do believe)
You're leaving me (You're leaving me)
You're leaving me (You're leaving me)

[Outro]
Maybe, I'm the only, only, only one who knows
(Maybe, I'm the only one who knows that...)
You're leaving me (You're leaving me)
