(leave her alone)
don't tell her that you love her
don't tell her that you need her
just leave her with the other man
even though you might want her
and she may even haunt your dreams
don't you know he treats her right
and when you say goodnight
let her know that it's goodbye
cause you want her to be happy
and it makes you feel crappy
you really gotta do what's right
(just stay at home)
though you're dying just to see her
(put down the phone)
thought you only wanna hear her voice
stand by your choice
and pretend you'd rather be alone
and when you walk down that street
pretend it's her face you don't see
and when you close your eyes
someday you'll realize
the love you left behind
(leave her alone)
though you're dying just to see her
and you only wanna hear her voice
and no, you never wanna be alone
