Lyrics »

Well I've been tryin' to tell you For a long time That leavin' is the lovin' thing to do Maybe I have hurt you In the meantime Exactly what I never meant to do But I ain't comin' back 'Til you clean up your act And get your stubborn ways out of my face (Grace) 'Cause you ain't just a mess You're an angel in distress But you could sing a song a thousand ways There's all those things about you That are sweet sunshine But you fly me to the moon Then you waste my dime So I'll be movin' on Let you get on with your song 'Cause leavin' is the lovin' thing to do There's all those things about you That are oh so dear If you'd just get your pussyfootin' soul in gear But deep down in my heart I have loved you from the start So leavin' is the lovin' thing to do I said deep down in my heart I have loved you from the start So leavin' is the lovin' thing to do
