If You Must Leave My Life - The Three Degrees

Standing in my eyes

You’ll always be the reason

But I knew I couldn’t keep you for good

And I’m not even sure that I should

But girl, if you must leave my life

You leave me alone

And baby, long before you leave my life

Be sure you have your own

Somewhere in my mouth

There’ll always be the taste of you

Forever is so very long

I don’t want your life to go wrong

So girl, if you must leave my life

Consider every part

And baby, long before you leave my life

Be sure you have your heart

'Cause if it’s not there

When you unpack

It might not be here

When you get back
