Lyrics So You're Leaving - Al Green

So You're Leaving

So you’re leaving me today
Just because of what they say
You took their word against mine
Friends do lie some time
Before you walk out the door
Let me say just once more
They don’t want you for me
Open your eyes, can’t you see
So you’re leavin' me
Hey, baby
Don’t want you to leave me
Yeah, baby
Tell me
I’m trying to find a way
That I can make you stay
You won’t hear a word I say
And you wanna leave me anyway
Girl, don’t break our hearts
I knew right from the start
If they lied on Jesus, can’t you see
They’ll lie on you and me
Are you leavin' me?
Hey, baby
Are you leavin' me?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
I wanna say
My darlin', take my life
You can stay and be my wife
You just deal like mine
And our hearts beat right on time
So, go on, don’t break our hearts
I knew from the start
If they lie on Jesus, can’t you see
They’ll lie on you and me
Are you leavin' me?
Now you wanna — no, please, don’t
Are you leavin' me?
Hey, baby, I wanna say
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (Ah yeah)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (One more time, say)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (Let me say)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I wanna know
Are you leavin' me?
Why don’t ya come on back, babe
Makes no sense in leavin' me
Hey baby, I want to be your leadin' man
Why you wanna go?
Why you wanna go?
Are you leavin' me?
Hey baby, I wanna know who you love
Tell me who you love
I wanna know who you love
Are you leavin'?
Wanna know, are you leavin' me?
Why you, why you, why you wanna go?
Hey baby, why you wanna go, I wanna know
Why you wanna go?
Tell me, tell me
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Are you leavin' me?
