Leave of Absence

One time or two I might have mentioned your name
Perhaps I've dialled your number by mistake
But I must tell you, girl, I don’t want you to get
Some ideas
It's over for good 'tween you and me
I tell you
It don’t mean a thing

I'm trying hard to keep my dignity
Don't need no comfort no, no sympathy
But I must tell you, girl, I tremble and shake
When I'm alone
Wondering where everything went wrong
But, I tell you
It don't mean a thing

I try
But I
Give myself away

If you should ask me, I'd be doin OK
(You're lyin', uh, I know you’re lyin’)
Shouldn't feel bad about you anyway
(You’re lyin', uh, I know you're lyin')
But I do, girl, my head is in the noose
I’m lonely and I can't help but think of you
I tell you
You mean the world to me

Oh Lord, oh, Lord
