You're taking all I got and now you're leaving
Ooh baby, don't go.
I thought that love was something to believe in
Ooh, baby don't go.

I've seen it in your face
It's in your eyes when you turn away
You think it's all a waste
You're goin' today

I won't pretend
I won't say it won't hurt me bad
Won't you try it again
Whatever happened to all that we had?

You're taking all I got and now you're leavin'
Ooh baby, don't go
I thought love was something to believe in
Ooh baby don't go.

Don't fight, just hold me tight
Everything is gonna work out right
I won't beg,
but you heard what I said
I need you every day and night

You're taking all I got and now you're leaving
Ooh baby, don't go.
I thought that love was something to believe in
Ooh, baby don't go.

And if you close the door
I can't wish you well anymore.
You know you really turned on me,
So don't come running back 'cause I know you'll never see.

You're takin' all I got and now you're leaving
Ooh baby, don't go.
I thought love was something to believe in,
Ooh baby, don't go.
And baby don't go
Ooh, baby don't go
