How Can I Leave

How could I, how could I
How could I, how could I
How could I, how could I
How could I, how could I
How could I, how could I
How could I, how could I
How could I, how could I
How could

How could I live
How could I possibly go on
If you should say goodbye, yeah
Just like a rose
If you don't water it every morn, yeah
It withers and it dies

Promise you won't leave me
Promise you won't hurt me
Promise you won't ever make me blue, yeah
If you ever leave me
If you should desert me
Baby, I don't know just what I'll do
I really don't know just what I'll do
I really don't know just what I'll do

It was ordained, yeah
That man should leave his mother
And cling to the woman he loves, yeah
I'm so sure, I'm so sure
I could never love anyone
The way I love you girl, ooh babe
No no no no no
I could never love anyone
The way I love you girl, yeah
The way I love you, no no no, yeah

Promise you won't hurt me
Promise you won't desert me
Promise you won't ever make me blue
If you ever hurt me
Baby, or desert me
Baby, I don't know just what I'll do
I really don't know just what I'll do
I really don't know just what I'll do

Hey, no, just can't do without you babe
No no no, I just can't do
I just can't do without you girl
It's impossible, no no no no no
