Lyrics Waylon Jennings

Waylon Jennings

I'm Gonna Leave (While I Still Love You)

You took the little gifts I gave as though

Afraid each one contained some sort of bribe

And so the joy you might have had from someone giving

'Cause they can has been denied

And now the frown of discontent upon your face

Grows deep and felt with time

And I'm gonna leave while I still love you

I know there's no way that I can

Make up to you for whatever wrong

Has caused you all the pain and sorrow

That your heart has lived on for so long

And the wall you've built between us

Higher now and harder now to climb

And I'm gonna leave while I still love you

I wish that I could be all the reasons

That you need to go on live'n'

I wish that I could give you what you want

So I can get what I'm not gett'n'

But happiness is not a gift

That I can bring you tied with pretty ribbons

And so before I'm left with only bitterness

And memories of bad times

Baby I'm gonna leave while I still love you

Baby I'm gonna leave while I still love you
