I just gotta say it baby, I just gotta say it...

It's sad to see you leavin', don't want to end it this way.
Your words have lost the meaning, and now you've gone away.
I tried my best to please you, I guess I let you down.
So sad to see you goin', Oh darlin' stay around.

Why are you Leavin', why'd ya have to go.
Oh babe believe me, and I love you so.
Why are you Leavin', why'd ya have to go.
Oh babe believe me, and I love you so.
Why are you Leavin', why'd ya have to go.
Oh babe believe me, and i love you, I love you so.

So sad to see you goin, not been together too long.
Not even knowing, hardly where I went wrong.
Our plans, guess they're all over, now they never will be.
Your love, I'll hold onto it, but it's really hurtin' me.

Why are you Leavin', why'd ya have to go.
Oh babe believe me, and I love you so.
Why are you Leavin', why'd ya have to go.
Oh babe believe me, and I love you so.
Why are you Leavin', why'd ya have to go.
Oh babe believe me, and i love you, I love you so.

And now I sit and wonder, how good love can die.
I think we coulda made it, but woman we didn't try.
It's hard to try and face it, to say that with you.
I don't think I can make it, oh Karen I need you.
