I never knew why
Why we can't see eye to eye?
Like a fool I believed
We'd find a way to survive
I wish we could be
More than just a memory
'Cause we loved, we laughed, we cried
And there's no good in goodbye
You tell me, you need some time
Some time to be on my own
Right now when I need you so, oh oh
Don't know how long it will take
Do you expect me to wait?
But baby I gotta go, oh oh
Then you gotta go
If you must go, you ought to know
I'll get along, I will live without you
If you must leave, I hope you see, yeah
I won't be around baby, if you should leave
You're gonna need me
You might think that leavin' is easy
I had no right to lead you on
I should have told you the moment
The feeling was gone
What I'm trying to say is that I need some space
I need to be sure
No, you'll never find another love like mine
All around this world, still you tell me
You tell me you need some time
Some time to be on my own
Right now when I need you so, oh oh
Don't know how long it will take
Do you expect me to wait?
But baby I gotta go, oh oh
Then you gotta go
If you must go, you ought to know
I'll get along, I'll live without you
If you must leave, I hope you see, yeah
I won't be around, baby, if you should leave
You're gonna need me
Go on and go
'Cause now you know
I'll get along
I'll simply [incomprehensible]
Go on and leave
Our love you'll see
How much you need
You really need me
You said you'll always be mine
I need to be on my own
But you'll be back boy I know, oh go
I gotta be on my way
Not gonna beg you to stay
Baby I gotta go, you gotta, go
If you must go, you ought to know
I'll get along, I'll live without you
If you must leave, I hope you see, yeah
I won't be around baby, if you should leave
You're gonna need me
If you must go, you ought to know
I'll get along, I'll live without you
If you must leave, I hope you see, yeah
I won't be around baby, if you should leave
You're gonna need me
If you must go, you ought to know
I'll get along, I'll live without you
