I Have to Leave

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
