Leavin' Songtext
von Marvin Gaye

Darlin′, will you leave me?
I'll be by your side, oh baby (I′ll be right there by your side, oh baby)
Lately I can't leave you
No matter how hard I try, oh baby

Your love for me has grown cold, oh baby (cold, cold, cold)
It's time to say goodbye, bye bye baby (it′s time to say goodbye, baby)
I′ve got my bags all packed (bags all packed)
Walkin' out the door (walkin′ out the door)
Can't take no chances, baby
And you′ll hurt me no more


This time I'm leavin′ (leavin')
This time I'm leavin′, yeah, I know
It′s gonna hurt me when I go away
But it'll hurt me much worse if I′d stay
So I'm leavin′, leavin' baby (leavin′, leavin')

I don't understand
Don′t understand it, baby
You′ve always had your way, oh baby (you've always had your way, baby)
I gotta put you down (gotta put you down)
Can′t take it no more (can't take no more)

I get hurt the same as baby
Many, many times before
But this time I′m leavin'
This time I′m leavin', yeah
Yeah, I'm leavin′
I′m leavin', baby

I got my ticket in my hand
Oh, I can′t stand it, baby
Lord, I got to put you down
