When I first met you, I felt the flames of desire
Been like I known you for years, oh yes I did
But your heart grew colder, through the fire
Left me holding back my tears
I don't expect you to understand
How these memories haunt my mind
Now I walk alone late at night
And I can't, can't, stop from crying

Oh... Don't leave me this way
Don't leave me this way
Don't leave me this way
Don't leave me this way

You moved on but I keep holding on
To the sweet lies that will never be
I don't expect you to understand
How these memories haunt my mind
Now I walk alone late at night
And I can't, can't stop from crying

Oh... Don't leave me this way
Don't leave me this way
Don't leave me this way
Don't leave me this way

I'm trying baby, I'm begging you
Can't you see that I need you?
C'mon hear my (?)
What am I to do?
Don't you leave me, I can't take it
Don't you leave me woman, don't you leave me
I don't know what I'm gonna do
I need you here by my side
