Oh, darling, after all this time You seem to me, girl To be changing your mind We don't talk no more like we used to do What in the world has come over you Leaving me can't be What you're telling me, baby Leaving me can't be What you're telling me, baby Lately, I felt that you Avoided my conversations You would turn on the TV Didn't need the aggravation I just don't know I just don't know What I've done to you But whatever it is, child I hope one thing can be true And that is Leaving me can't be What you're telling me Can't be Leaving me can't be What you're telling me, can't be Girl, if you only knew what Was going through my mind You'd stop fooling around And give me all your time The best years I've had I spent 'em all with you If you left me one day I'd be through Leaving me can't be What you're telling me, baby Leaving me can't be What you're telling me, baby
