Don't Leave Me This Way

David Coverdale & Jimmy Page

I'm sick and tired and lonely, sitting in my room

Staring at the shadows, blowing smoke rings at the moon

Every night I try, but, every night I cry, tryin' to work out why

I just wanna know, got to know, why you keep on pushing me, baby

You love me when you want, and take me when you need

Whatever you say to me, baby, makes my poor heart bleed

Now I don't wanna win, but, I don't wanna lose

An' I don't wanna be alone no more, no more

I just wanna give you love, I just got to give you love

But, you keep on giving love

You give another man your love

Ooh baby, don't you leave me this way

Don't you leave me

I never wanna hurt you, don't wanna tie you down

But, every time I take a look in the mirror

I can see the heartache hangin' 'round

I'm going down to the ground

Why you always wanna bring me down

Baby, baby, why do you always bring me down

'Cos you keep on giving love

You give another man your love

Baby, baby, don't you leave me this way

Don't you leave me, baby, baby, baby

My heart is aching, my heart is breaking for you

And I can't take it anymore, no more, no more

I'm sick and tired and lonely, nothing left to say

Just thinking 'bout you, baby, takes all my night and day

All my nights, all my days

Baby, babe, you take my breath away

'Cos you keep on giving love

You give another man your love

Baby, baby, baby, don't you leave me this way

I can't stop my love from falling down

I wanna love you in the morning

Wanna love you in the evening time

Don't you leave me, baby

Don't you ever leave me, baby

Don't you leave me, baby, no

Don't you leave me, bab
