The longer I know her, the more I can tell
My darlin's not happy with me
The longer I know that I know her too well
The less love in her eyes I see

'Cause she don't hold and kiss me like she did one time
I think my sweet baby's got leavin' on her mind

The stronger I hold her, the farther apart
My darlin' is growin' from me
The danger of my darlin' breakin' my heart
Is fast movin' in on me

'Cause she don't hold and kiss me like she did one time
I think my sweet baby's got leavin' on her mind

The deeper I love her, the farther away
My darlin' slips out of my hands
The longer the future, the longer I'll stay
Out of my darlin's plans

'Cause she don't hold and kiss me like she did one time
I think my sweet baby's got leavin' on her mind
I think my sweet baby's got leavin' on her mind
