If I Leave You Now
[Verse 1]
Yeah, listen...
You know it's so hard to say goodbye to you
We both know what we're doing is so wrong
So before I'm too weak to fight
Let's call it a day tonight

[Chorus]
'Cause I still gotta look in the mirror, when I wake up
And try to wash away the guilt I feel inside
Then I'll see my woman puttin' on her makeup
Longing to be satisfied
And if I leave you now, she'll never know our lie
(If I leave you now) oh, never know
(If I leave you now) why's this

[Verse 2]
Girl, you're so young (so young)
And time is on your side (on your side)
I won't be the last (yeah)
Won't be the last to walk away (walk away), no
So plеase, don't think I was leading you on
Oh, it was so god, but I gotta go home

[Chorus]
'Causе I still gotta look in the mirror, when I wake up
(Gotta look into my mirror)
And try to wash away the guilt I feel inside
(Wash the guilt I feel inside)
I see my woman puttin' on her makeup
(See my woman puttin' on makeup)
Longing to be satisfied (longing to be satisfied), yeah
And if I leave you now, she'll never know our lie
Oh, never know (if I leave you now)
I gotta leave you, baby (if I leave you now)
Gotta leave you, why's this (if I leave you now)
[Outro]
(If I leave you) Im'ma tell you why (she won't cry)
'Cause I still gotta look in the mirror, when I wake up
(Gotta look into my mirror)
And try to wash away the guilt I feel inside
(Wash the guilt I feel inside)
I see my woman puttin' on her makeup
(See my woman puttin' on makeup)
Oh, longing to be satisfied (longing to be satisfied), yeah
And if I leave you now, she'll never know our lie
Hey, never know our lie
Gotta leave you, why's this
Don't want to know, don't want her know, hey
Don't wanna know our lie, hey, she'll never know...
