I'm a leavin' you baby   I'm a leavin' you baby

I was dirty and you took me home and washed my face

I was nothing and you gave me
something to live for
I was nowhere
I wanna tell you now like never before

Chorus:
I'm a leavin' you baby

And I'm feelin' it now like never before

Mama I'm a leavin' you baby
Mmm

Time and time await
Baby
I'm a leavin you before it's too late
I'm a leavin' you baby

Hey Hey
I'm a leavin' you baby
I can't stop the tears that you cry
I can't stop the tears that you cry
But I got to say good bye
Oh baby
I'm a leavin' you ma ma ma ma
Oh oh leavin' you baby
Mmm
