[Chorus]
When I first met you, you told me exactly how it would be
You had a lady and couldn't spend all your time with me
I only wanted to kick it, so I said "cool, you can keep her", long as you satisfy me
But as the weeks went by I, I started feelin' strange
Somethin' was deep in my heart, somethin' I can't explain
I think I'm fallin' in love with you, boy
I'm needing you so much, I'm cryin' just to feel your touch
I've gotta leave you

[Verse 1]
I didn't want a man
I didn't wanna fall in love, and
I didn't care about your girl
I didn't care how we would end up
But that was then, this is now
I think I'm experiencing love
I don't wanna wreck up your home
That's why I'm convinced, I gotta go

[Chorus]
When I first met you, you told me exactly how it would be
You had a lady and couldn't spend all your time with me
I only wanted to kick it, so I said "cool, you can keep her", long as you satisfy me
But as the weeks went by I, I started feelin' strange
Somethin' was deep in my heart, somethin' I can't explain
I think I'm fallin' in love with you, boy
I'm needing you so much, I'm cryin' just to feel your touch
I've gotta leave you

[Verse 2]
Every time she calls, you expect (you expect)
Me to disappear like we never met
At first, I didn't mind, but now I (but now, I)
Sometimes feel like you're all mine
You told me it was all about me, me
It's not about me if you're still with her
Now I've realized that I've gotta move on
It might be hard but I, I gotta move on

[Chorus]
When I first met you, you told me exactly how it would be
You had a lady and couldn't spend all your time with me
I only wanted to kick it, so I said "cool, you can keep her", long as you satisfy me
But as the weeks went by I, I started feelin' strange
Somethin' was deep in my heart, somethin' I can't explain
I think I'm fallin' in love with you, boy
I'm needing you so much, I'm cryin' just to feel your touch
I've gotta leave you

[Outro]
I gotta leave you (I've gotta leave you)
I gotta leave you (Gotta leave you)
Gotta leave you (Gotta leave you)
Gotta, gotta, gotta leave you (Gotta leave you)
Gotta leave you (Gotta leave you)
I've gotta leave you (Gotta leave you)
