Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mmm
Mmm-hmm
[Verse 2]
I can't conceive, you don't need me
I just can't ask you, please don't leave me
It's a matter of seeing ourselves
And taking stock of what we have left
[Verse 3]
I can't say, I understand much
I can't say, I wont miss your touch
It's enough to know, here you don't wanna be
And I accept it, darlin', full heartedly
[Verse 4]
If that'll make you (Mmm-hmm)
If that'll make you happy, baby (Ah, yeah)
Go on and take that step (Mmm-hmm)
Out of my life (Ooh)
If that'll make you (Oh, oh)
If that'll make you happy, baby (Ooh)
Go on and take that step (Oh)
Out of my life (Ah, yes, ah, yeah)
[Verse 5]
Although the thought of it
Gets to me, I must admit
And it's something I never tried
Pushing my own hope and feeling's aside
[Verse 6]
If it means that much to you
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do
Yes, it's gonna take all the strength in me
I'm gonna do it, baby, I'm gonna set you free
[Verse 7]
If that'll make (Oh) you (Uh, honey)
(Mmm) If that'll make you happy, baby
(Go on) Go on and take (Oh) that (Oh) step
Out of my life (Ooh, ooh, I'll do it for you, I'll do it for you)
If that'll make (Ow) you (Oh, baby, mmm-hmm)
If that'll make you happy, baby
(Go on, go on) Go on and take (Take it) that (Take it) step (Oh)
Out of my life (I love you so, oh, Lord)
[Verse 8]
If that'll make (Woo) you (Oh, oh)
If that'll make you happy, baby (If you wanna go, you've got to go)
Go on and take (Ow) that step (Take it right out)
Out of my life (Oh, baby, I'll do it for you)
If that'll make you (Oh, oh, yeah)
If that'll make you happy, baby (Happy, baby, happy, baby)
Go on and take (Take it) that (Take it) step (Take it all, love)
Out of my life (Out of my life, go, go on out of my life)
[Verse 9]
If that'll make you (Mmm)
If that'll make you happy, baby (Happy, baby, happy, baby)
