Our love affair is bitter sweet Insecure and incomplete And I've often wondered why your leaving's been so long delayed It's all become so complicated Maybe you feel obligated And out of simpathy for me you stay But I had rather live alone Than live with someone who doesn't love me And I'd rather have you go than stay And put me down a thinkin' you're above me Our love affair is so wound up It's best that we unwind And if you don't love me, leave me And don't let it trouble your mind You've waited much too long to leave afraid of how I'd take it And I'm deeply touched by your concern but I think I can make it It won't be easy for a while but I'll forget in time And if you don't love me, leave me and don't let it trouble your mind I had rather live alone Than live with someone who doesn't love me And I'd rather have you go than stay And put me down a-thinkin' you're above me Our love affair is so wound up It's best that we unwind And if you don't love me, leave me And don't let it trouble your mind
