This time I have to leave
It`s all too clear
It`s plain to see
No use in hang`n `round
Like a dog that whines and growls (Warren used "cries" instead of growls)
This time I have to leave
Did you hear that I`m attached?
I`m on a dead end path
Can`t you see it hurts me so?
But I really got to go
This time I have to leave
I`m gon`na disappear
Stayed too long, I`ll shake my tears
You gave your all, we weren`t shy
So thanks again, it`s been nice
This time I have to leave
It`s all to clear
It`s plain to see
No use in hanging `round
They tell me I`m out`ta bounds
This time I have to leave
Well, It looks as though I`ll be gone for a while
So try not to get too riled
There`ll be another time when we can unwind
But I got to get it on down the line
This time I have to leave
It`s all too clear
It`s plain to see
No use in hanging `round
You`ll get by somehow
This time I have to leave
But love won`t go away
I`m feel`n I got to stay
And go on liv`n a lie
With you I know there`s no goodbye
This time I have to leave
It`s all too clear
It`s plain to see
No use in hanging `round
After all, anyway, anyhow
This time I have to leave
