Gladys Knight & The Pips
If You Gonna Leave (Just Leave)
[Verse 1]
How, how, how can you
Walk out on me
Then turn around and
Place all the blame on me?
How can you say
That I never cared
I didn't leave you, darlin'
I didn't go anywhere

[Pre-Chorus]
And I hate
Every morning
That I open my eyes
And I didn't see you
Oh, oh, oh

[Chorus]
If you're gonna leave
Just go on and leave (Go on)
And I won't ask you why
Sick and tired of being torn in pieces
Little piece (Little bitty)
Little bitty pieces, oh oh (Little pieces)

[Verse 2]
I poured out my love to you (Poured out my lovin')
That watered from the well
But my love soon dried
Being torn between heaven and hell
You say my actions
Don't give no satisfaction
Maybe baby, I'm just not able
To satisfy you
[Pre-Chorus]
In your past, you've always
You always had your way
This is one time, honey honey
I'm not gonna get you to stay
So-oh oh

[Chorus]
If you're gonna leave
Just go on and leave (Go on)
And I won't ask you why
Sick and tired of being torn in pieces
Pieces (Little bitty, little bitty)
Little bitty pieces, oh oh oh (Little pieces)

[Bridge]
(Hoo)
Oh, oh, oh

[Verse 3]
You can't kill a flower
Then water it back to life
And you sure can't kill this love of ours
And expect it not to die
Never thought I'd be strong enough
To say goodbye to you
I guess I had to hurt long enough
To really say we're through
[Pre-Chorus]
In your past, you've always
Always had your way
But this is one time, honey
I'm not begging you to stay
So-oh oh

[Chorus]
(If you're gonna leave) Yeah
(Go on) Uh huh huh huh huh
Sick and tired of being torn in pieces
Pieces (Little bitty, little bitty pieces)

(If you're gonna leave)
Just go on and leave (Go on)
Said I'm sick and tired of being torn in pieces
Little piece at a time (Little bitty, little bitty pieces)

Hey, hey, if you're gonna leave
Just go on and leave (Go on)
And I won't ask you why
Said I'm sick and tired of being torn in pieces
