Lyrics If You Must Leave My Life - The Three Degrees

If You Must Leave My Life

Standing in my eyes
You’ll always be the reason
But I knew I couldn’t keep you for good
And I’m not even sure that I should
But girl, if you must leave my life
You leave me alone
And baby, long before you leave my life
Be sure you have your own
Somewhere in my mouth
There’ll always be the taste of you
Forever is so very long
I don’t want your life to go wrong
So girl, if you must leave my life
Consider every part
And baby, long before you leave my life
Be sure you have your heart
'Cause if it’s not there
When you unpack
It might not be here
When you get back
