Why?

Don't leave me, baby don't you go
We have been together so doggone long
Now you say you want to leave me boy
Destroy our happy home
Why you want to leave me
Something I don't understand
Why you want to leave me for that other woman?

Don't leave me baby, don't you go
All your love and kisses
Boy I'm gonna miss
But before you leave me child
You gotta just tell me this

Why you want to leave me?
Why you want to go?
Why you want to close my heart's open door?
Don't leave me baby, don't you go

When my buddies see me and
I'm stepping out alone
I just smile and tell them that
I left you home
This is the beginning
I can't see the end
Why you want to leave me
For my only friend? Oh baby

Don't leave me baby, don't you go
Don't leave me baby
Don't leave me baby
