It's all too clear
It's plain to see
No use in hang'n 'round
Like a dog that whines and growls (Warren used "cries" instead of growls)
This time I have to leave
Did you hear that I'm attached?
I'm on a dead end path
Can't you see it hurts me so?
But I really got to go
This time I have to leave
I'm gon'na disappear
Stayed too long, I'll shake my tears
You gave your all, we weren't shy
So thanks again, it's been nice
This time I have to leave
It's all to clear
It's plain to see
No use in hanging 'round
They tell me I'm out'ta bounds
This time I have to leave
Well, It looks as though I'll be gone for a while
So try not to get too riled
There'll be another time when we can unwind
But I got to get it on down the line
This time I have to leave
It's all too clear
It's plain to see
No use in hanging 'round
You'll get by somehow
This time I have to leave
But love won't go away
I'm feel'n I got to stay
And go on liv'n a lie
With you I know there's no goodbye
This time I have to leave
It's all too clear
It's plain to see
No use in hanging 'round
After all, anyway, anyhow
This time I have to leave
This time I have to leave It's all too clear It's plain to see No use in hang'n 'round Like a dog that whines and growls (Warren used "cries" instead of growls) This time I have to leave Did you hear that I'm attached? I'm on a dead end path Can't you see it hurts me so? But I really got to go This time I have to leave I'm gon'na disappear Stayed too long, I'll shake my tears You gave your all, we weren't shy So thanks again, it's been nice This time I have to leave It's all to clear It's plain to see No use in hanging 'round They tell me I'm out'ta bounds This time I have to leave Well, It looks as though I'll be gone for a while So try not to get too riled There'll be another time when we can unwind But I got to get it on down the line This time I have to leave It's all too clear It's plain to see No use in hanging 'round You'll get by somehow This time I have to leave But love won't go away I'm feel'n I got to stay And go on liv'n a lie With you I know there's no goodbye This time I have to leave It's all too clear It's plain to see No use in hanging 'round After all, anyway, anyhow This time I have to leave Explain Request ×
