I Have to Leave

This time I have to leave
It's all to clear
It's plain to see
No use in hanging round
Like a dog that whines and cries
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

Well, I'm gonna disappear
Stayed too long, I'll shake my tears
You gave your all we weren't shy
So thanks again it's been nice
But this time I have to leave
It's all too clear
It's plain to see
No use in hanging round
They tell me I'm outta bounds
This time I have to leave

Well, it looks as though I'll be gone for awhile
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 feel I've got to stay
And go on living 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
