[Verse 1]
I once had a love, but soon had enough
'Cause he was a false contender
He was so thin, there must have been
Deep sorrow gnawing away at him

[Chorus]
What will I do?
Will it always be you?
I hope and I pray
He'll leave me one day

[Verse 2]
We were so sweet under the Copper Beach
You left your mark, you sunk your teeth
To the back of my neck, oh, let’s not pretend
I needed the lesson that you taught me well

[Chorus]
What will I do?
Will it always be you?
I hope and I pray
He'll leave me one day

What will I do?
Will it always be you?
I hope and I pray
You'll leave me one day
What will I do?
Must it always be you?
I hope and I pray
He'll leave me one day
[Post-Chorus]
(He'll leave me one day
He'll leave me one day
He'll leave me one day)
