How do some folks stay in love
Like a honeymoon couples that can't get enough
How can love be tender
Yet so tough as it grows

I've left you and I've come back
So many times I can't keep track
What is it one of us lacks
Do you know

When I stop leaving
I'll be gone
When I stop leaving
You'll be gone

Love's not gettin' any clearer
Sometimes I think it's all done with mirrors
When I stop leaving
I'll be gone

I need you and you need me
Still we pay for love
Love that's free
Should we hang together or independently
And let it go
I come back each time I leave
We make love
Then we shout and scream
Bottom line time
What does it mean
Oh, do you know

When I stop leaving...
When I stop leaving
I'll be gone
When I stop leaving you
I'll be gone
