How am I to tell that it's over, baby?
Please, I try to understand
Nothing lasts forever if you had it all you'd leave
I try to understand

You can take or you leave it
But boy
Don't you leave me
I try to understand

You can take or you leave it
But easy, boy
Don't you leave me
I try to understand

How am I to tell that it's over baby?
Please try to understand
Nothing lasts forever if you had it all you'd leave
I held you in my hands, nothing had been planned for me

Boy
Don't you leave me
I try to understand

You can take or you leave it
But easy, boy
Don't you leave me
I try to understand

You can take or you leave it
But easy, boy
Don't you leave me
I try to understand

You can take or you leave it
But easy, boy
Please believe me

How am I to tell that it's over
She is over
Nobody else could ever know, no, no
I try to understand

Baby please, I try to understand
Baby please, I try to understand
Don't you leave me
I try to understand

I try to understand
Don't you leave me
I try to understand
Don't you leave me
I try to understand
Don't you leave me
