You Must Leave Me
YOU MUST LEAVE ME
You must leave me as I was before.
You must let me be at peace.
You must not hold on to my heart anymore.
My heart you must release.
Yes, I love thee like the sky loves the sun
and know that I always will.
Yes, I love thee like children love to run
with hearts that are racing still.
I cannot be left with just your voice
although it’s the voice I hear.
My needs are selfish where you’re concerned.
I need all of you, my dear.
I need your hands, your mouth, your smile,
your passion and your heart.
And since that’s near impossible
you must leave me. You must depart.
The music will change when you go.
No longer will melodies play
like they did when first we met, my love,
no longer on any day.
You must leave me as I was before,
despondent and not knowing why?
You must leave me now, my love and know
that I’ll love you until I die.

Leave Me Alone
(ian hunter)
I love your sulky eyes,
I love your raven hair.
I often fantasize
A beautiful affair,
A broken paradise
cause you dont even care.
I love your sultry smile,
I love to see you dance.
Sometimes it drives me wild
To know Ive got no chance.
Your boyfriend doesnt see
Youre flirting, teasing me.
Why dont you leave me alone,
Leave me alone?
Wont you leave me alone,
Leave me alone.
Sometimes Ill act ok,
Sometimes Ill try and hide.
But when you look at me,
I fall apart inside.
Across a broken sea
You took me for a ride.
Why dont you leave me alone,
Leave me alone?
Wont you leave me alone,
Leave me alone.
Other lovers go home
And Im left here alone
With my heart in my hand.
I just cant understand
Why you treat me this way.
I just got to say.
Why dont you leave me alone,
Leave me alone?
Wont you leave me alone,
Leave me alone.
Why dont you leave me alone,
Leave me alone?
Wont you leave me alone,
Leave me alone.
(oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Why dont you leave me,
Leave me alone, oh)

I Hear
(diana ross/stan scates)
What is this i hear
Falling softly in my ears
Quietly telling me to wipe away my tears
Yesterdays are gone
And love has cleared the way
No matter who you are
You can touch the stars
Life's interactions can make you smile
Just listen to the voice in your heart
The voice is near you, it's never too far
The voice is with you, where ever you are
It's closer than close, calling to your heart
I hear the voice of love
I hear the voice of love
The voice will never leave you
It lives deep down inside
It's calling you, asking you
To open up your heart
All things are achievable
Nothing is impossible
You can reach your highest high
You can make it if you try
Life's interactions can make you smile
Just listen to the voice in your heart
The voice is near you, it's never too far
The voice is with you, where ever you are
It's closer than close, calling to your heart
I hear the voice of love
I hear the voice of love
Follow where it leads you in the dark
The voice will guide your heart
The voice is always near
I hear the voice, i found the voice
From the mountains to the sea
The voice of love is calling me
Where ever you are, the voice is near you
It's never too far, the voice is with you
I hear the voice of love
I hear the voice of love
I hear the voice of love

When It Hurts The Least
I will leave you with tears crawling down my face
I will leave and it will feel like moving to hell from grace
I will leave because i cannot bear your distance
I will leave because life just wont give us a chance
I will leave knowing i have done everything i could do
I will leave owning nothing but our memories and your photo
I will leave with the last bit of pride left in me
I will leave but first i will unlock my heart and set you free
I will leave and it will tear me apart not looking back
I will leave, wave goodbye and my life will slowly turn black
I will leave knowing i was the luckiest victim of your love
I will leave missing every kiss and touch and all i can no longer have
I will leave but i hope you know i am compelled to
I will leave but i will be devistated as i worshiped you
I will leave though it hurts like mad to be forbidden from your sight
I will leave but your lost reply will kill me when i summon you every night

Farewell My Love
Farewell my love.
I must leave thee now.
I must not see your anxious brow.
So I leave you quietly in the night
and know this thing I do is right.
Farewell my love.
I will miss your arms
and pray that you will miss my charms.
So I leave with sorrow in my heart
and know this longing will ne'er depart.
Farewell my love.
Please don't look for me.
For I must go to where you will not see.
So I leave and know that what I take
will always bring a constant ache.
Farewell my love.
You will never know
just where it is that I shall go.
So as I leave with one last glance
I will always remember our short romance.

Fool For Your Love
(diana ross/ray chew/bill wray)
What do you want, baby
One last piece of my heart
What do you need, baby
We could make a new start
Im not scared
All the nights alone
Lying there crying with the television on
Watching those scoops about love and happiness
Wonder what I ever did to deserve a fate like
I dont wanna be around
For that famous final scene
I just cant help myself
Im a fool for your love
Leave me alone, please
My heart cant take any more
You left me going crazy
It started like just like a phone
Youre the number one
Youre the only one I need
If you dont want my love
Then set me free
I dont wanna be around
For that famous final scene
I cant help myself
Im a fool for your love
Dont come closer
You know Im easy to phone
You dont love me
Any fool can see
Im telling you goodbye
Bye, bye
Leave me alone, please
My heart cant take anymore
Leave me alone, please
Let me walk out that door
Leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone
I dont wanna be around
For that famous final scene
I just cant help myself
Im a fool for your love
Im a fool for your love
Im a fool for your love
Leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone
A fool for your love
Im a fool for your love
Leave me alone, please
My heart cant take it no more
Leave me alone, leave me alone

And therere other types, they always make you wait
And theyre always the first to say, the state you come from

Don't Leave Me Now I'm In Love
Come and sit a while with me and talk
I need to have a word before you walk
Just before you go let me explain
That I love you
I know that this may come as a surprise
How do you think I felt when I realised?
It hit me like a bolt out of the sky
That I love you
You said that you were moving on
Come Saturday that you'd be gone
I thought of life without you and I cried
So finally I know who I
Am gonna love for all my life
So say you'll be mine
Please say I can change your mind
Don't leave, don't leave now I'm in love
Don't walk away from something that could have been so good
Don't leave, don't leave me now I know
I'll love you for forever, for all the stars above
Don't leave now I'm in love
Looking back on all the opportunity
I didn't have a clue that the girl was me
So listen to me now that things have changed
I love you
So suddenly my fate is sealed
'Cos only can make it real
So say you'll be mine
Please say I can change your mind
So don't leave, don't leave now I'm in love
Don't walk away from something that could have been so good
Don't leave, don't leave me now I know
I'll love you for forever, for all the stars above
Don't leave now I'm in love
Give me a chance to hold close 'cos...
I wanna feel that you're a part of me
Know how it feels to love you tenderly
Know that I'll never have to let you go
Don't leave me now I know
Don't leave me now I'm sure
Don't leave now I'm in love

The Temptation
YOU bring your love too late, dear, I have no love to buy it,
I spent my love on worthless toys, at fairs you do not know;
I am a bankrupt trader--dear eyes, do not deny it,
I could have bought your love, dear, but that was long ago.
My soul has left me widowed, my heart has made me orphan,
Leave me--all good things, dear, have left me--leave me too!
For here is ice no tears of yours, no smiles of yours can soften:
Leave me, leave me, leave me, I have no love for you!
I have no flowers to give you, they grow not in my garden;
I have no songs to sing you, my songs have all been sung;
I have no hope of heaven, no faith in any pardon,
I might have loved you once, dear, when I was good and young.
I will not steal, nor cheat you; take back the heart you lent me.
O God, whom I have outraged, now teach me how to pray,
That love come never again so near me to torment me,
Lest I be found less faithful than, by Thy grace, to-day.

Hemorrhage
Hemorrhage (In My Hands)"
memories are just where you laid them
drag the waters 'till the depths give up their dead
what did you expect to find?
was there something you left behind?
don't you remember anything i said when i said
don't fall away, and leave me to myself
don't fall away and leave love bleeding
in my hands, in my hands again
leave love bleeding
in my hands, in my hands
love lies bleeding
oh hold me now i feel contagious
am i the only place that you've left to go
she cries her life is like
some movie black and white
dead actors faking lines
over and over and over again she cries
don't fall away, and leave me to myself
dont fall away, and leave love bleeding
in my hands, in my hands again
leave love bleeding
in my hands, in my hands
love lies bleeding
and i wanted
you turned away
you don't remember, but i do
you never even tried
don't fall away and leave me to myself
don't fall away and leave love bleeding
in my hands, in my hands again
leave love bleeding
in my hands, in my hands
love lies bleeding

Why Did You Leave Me
If only you could see the tears
In the world you left behind
If only you could hear my heart
Just one more time
Even when I close my eyes
There is an image of your face
Once again I come to realize
You have lost that I cant replace
Soul then die
Its keeping for the lonely
Since the day that your were gone
Why did you leave me
Soul then die
In my heart you were the only
And your memory lives on
Why did you leave me
Soul then die
Walking down the streets on nothing will
Where our love was young and free
Cant believe just what an empty place
It has come to be
I would give my life away
If it can only be the safe
Cas I could still the voice inside of me
That is calling out your name
Soul then die
Its keeping for the lonely
Since the day that your were gone
Why did you leave me
Soul then die
In my heart you were the only
And your memory lives on
Why did you leave me
Soul then die
Time will never change the things
That you told me
And after all we mean to be
Love would bring us back to you and me
If only you could see...
Soul then die(soul then die)
Its keeping for the lonely(for the lonely)
Since the day that your were gone
Why did you leave me
Soul then die
In my heart you were the only
And your memory lives on
Why did you leave me
Soul then die...

Dont Leave
Packing your bags like people in the movies do,
All severe, and not saying a word,
And Im sitting down here just watching you,
And Im thinking:
Where is all the love gone?
Wheres the love gone to?
Dont leave,
You got me hurting,
Dont leave
You know its never been easy to love someone like me,
Oh, dont leave.
Hanging with friends like we used to do,
I didnt know anything was wrong,
And last night while I was thinking it through,
Trying to find who am I and what do you need me to do?
Dont leave.
Theres a record you used to play,
Theres joannie (as in mitchel? ? ) singing
best to be without you,
And I know just what shes singing for,
Where did all the love go?
Wheres the love gone to?
Dont leave.
You got me hurting,
Dont leave.
You know its never been easy to love someone like me,
Oh, dont leave.
Where did all the love go?
Wheres the love gone to?
Dont leave.
Well fly around the world, give you what youre giving me,
I should have dressed you up in pearl,
Finest silk to touch your skin,
Dont know how to write a love song,
But dont leave.
You got me hurting,
Dont leave.
You know its never been easy to love someone like me,
Dont leave.
Dont leave.
Dont leave.
Dont leave.

She Wanted To Leave
Three men's all there were, three men out at sea
Three men came aboard my ship and took my true love from me
I couldn't believe
She wanted to leave -- she wanted to leave
I've loved you so long, since you were a child
I've cared for your every need, i've tried to make you smile
When all the while
You wanted to leave -- you wanted to leave
Go gather the guns, we'll blast them at sea
She begged for me not to shoot
For "my true love is here with me,
And i've never loved thee,
And now i must leave, and now i must leave."
So go fetch a bottle of rum dear friends
And fill up my glass to the rim
For i'm not the man, i used to be
Now i'm one of them

I Cant Leave Your Love Alone
(alan darby/ david madiran)
Producers for bonnie: alan darby & david madiran
Recorded in 1991 as a b-side to the bitteblue single. it also found its way onto the b-side of the 1991 re-release of holding out for a hero (slightly extended version) and the 1993 compilation the very best of..., where it was incorrectly billed as previously unreleased . lyrics taken from careful listening.
There is a shadow rolling over my heart
Like a cloud across the moon
There is a devil on my shoulder
Spreading his light into my room
Broken head and empty heart
Shattered mind thats torn apart
I fall, I stumble into the night
I cant leave your love alone
I cant leave your love alone
A wicked wind beats at my window
Telling me that Im no good
Theres no life in this bleak desert
Theres no life, without you
Broken head and empty heart
Shattered mind thats torn apart
I fall, I stumble into the night
I cant leave your love alone
I cant leave your love alone
Broken head and empty heart
Shattered mind thats torn apart
I fall, I stumble into the night
I cant leave your love alone
I cant leave your love alone
I cant leave your love alone
I cant leave your love alone
I cant leave your love alone
I cant leave your love alone
I cant leave your love alone
I cant leave your love alone

Ad Domnulam Suam
Little lady of my heart !
Just a little longer,
Love me: we will pass and part,
Ere this love grow stronger.
I have loved thee, Child! too well,
To do aught but leave thee :
Nay! my lips should never tell
Any tale, to grieve thee.
Little lady of my heart !
Just a little longer,
I may love thee: we will part,
Ere my love grow stronger.
Soon thou leavest fairy-land;
Darker grow thy tresses;
Soon no more of hand in hand;
Soon no more caresses !
Little lady of my heart !
Just a little longer,
Be a child: then, we will part,
Ere this love grow stronger.
