This time I have to leave It's all to clear It's plain to see No use in hanging round Like a dog that whines and cries 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 Well, I'm gonna disappear Stayed too long, I'll shake my tears You gave your all we weren't shy So thanks again it's been nice But this time I have to leave It's all too clear It's plain to see No use in hanging round They tell me I'm outta bounds This time I have to leave Well, it looks as though I'll be gone for awhile 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 feel I've got to stay And go on living 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
