HE'S LEAVING ME
(Bonnie Guitar)


Bonnie Guitar - 1966


Why won't he look at me 
With sympathy for this aching heart 
That's breaking apart inside of me
Doesn't he know, doesn't he see
I can't stand it, he's leaving me

That smile I adore says he cares no more
And he can't wait till he makes the break
And walks out the door
Oh, doesn't he know, oh, doesn't he see
I can't stand it, he's leaving me

I can't blame him just because
He doesn't feel the way that rages in me
I couldn't hate him if I tried
And though he's tried, I know he's never loved me

When he says goodbye, heaven knows I'll try
Not to stand in his way or beg him to stay
I must keep my pride
There he goes out the door and I'm down on my knees
I can't stand it, he's leaving me
He's leaving me
