Lyrics

[Verse 1]

All of my life, all of my life

I've been searching for a love like ours

Somewhere to stay, somewhere safe

In your arms I was so sure

[Verse 2]

Are you really sayin' your heart's changing?

Do you really mean goodbye?

[Verse 3]

Don't leave me this way, no, no

Don't tell me it's over

We've only begun and our love is so young

You're leading me nowhere

Don't leave me this way

[Verse 4]

Say what's on your mind one thing at a time

And I promise you we'll talk it through

Don't walk away, there's so much more to say

Though my words seem lost on you

[Verse 5]

Can't believe you're talkin' like we're just friends

Can't you see the tears I cry?

[Verse 6]

Don't leave me this way, no, no

Don't tell me it's over

We've only begun and our love is so young

You're leading me nowhere

[Verse 7]

Don't leave me this way

Don't leave me this way

[Verse 8]

Are you really sayin' your heart's changing?

Do you really mean it this time?

[Verse 9]

Baby, don't leave me this way, no, no

Don't tell me it's over

We've only begun and our love is so young

You're leading me nowhere (Baby, please don't leave me this way)

[Verse 10]

Oh, don't leave me this way

No, don't tell me that it's over

We've only begun and our love is so young

Don't leave me now

[Verse 11]

Oh (Don't leave me, don't leave me this way)

Don't leave me this way, yeah (Don't leave me, don't leave me this way)

Oh, gonna leave, yeah (Don't leave me, don't leave me this way)

Oh, no, mmm (Don't leave me, don't leave me this way)

[Verse 12]

Oh, don't leave me this way

If you'll just take a little bit of time

Just might wanna change your mind

Don't leave me

No, no, no

Don't leave me this way
