Lee Fields The Expressions Don T Leave Me This Way Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I first met you, I felt the flames of desire
Been like I known you for years, oh yes I did
But your heart grew colder, through the fire
Left me holding back my tears

[Bridge]
I don't expect you to understand
How these memories haunt my mind
Now I walk alone late at night
And I can't, can't, stop from crying

[Chorus]
Oh... Don't leave me this way
Don't leave me this way
Don't leave me this way
Don't leave me this way

[Verse 2]
You moved on but I keep holding on
To the sweet lies that will never be

[Bridge]
I don't expect you to understand
How these memories haunt my mind
Now I walk alone late at night
And I can't, can't stop from crying

[Chorus]
Oh... Don't leave me this way
Don't leave me this way
Don't leave me this way
Don't leave me this way

[Verse 3]
I'm trying baby, I'm begging you
Can't you see that I need you?
C'mon hear my line
What am I to do?
Don't you leave me, I can't take it
Don't you leave me woman, don't you leave me
I don't know what I'm gonna do
I need you here by my side
