LEAVE IT
(Paul McCartney)
Mike McGear


I DEARLY LOVED HER ARTY JOKES,
THEIR CONTINENTAL FLAVOUR MAKES ME CHOKE,
SATISFIED INSIDE LIKE VINAIGRETTE.

AND LIKE AN OLD BROWN PHOTOGRAPH,
MY MEM'RY PRINTS FOREVER, POLAROID
PICTURES OF THE DAY SHE CAME MY WAY. (did she stay?)

SHE DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE IT,
SHE DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE IT,
SHE DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE IT,
LEAVE IT, BABY, IT'S GONNAWAY.

COME ON, BABY, DON'T BE LATE,
I WANNA HELP YOU TO CELEBRATE.
COME ON, LEAVE YOUR WORLD BEHIND,
LEAVE IT, LEAVE IT, LEAVE IT, LEAVE IT,
IT'S GONNAWAY, YEH.

PEELING OFF HER UNDERWEAR,
SHE MAKES ME THINK OF DAISIES, SHEDDING THEIR
SILVER METAL PETALS IN THE AIR.

SSSSSUPERSONIC AUTOGRAPH,
FOR SIMPLE STAGE DOOR JOHNNY WAS A LAF,
BUT ON THE STAIRWAY TO THE STARS SHE CRIED, 'CAUSE SHE LIED.

SHE DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE IT,
SHE DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE IT, (no!)
SHE DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE IT,
LEAVE IT, BABY, IT'S GONNAWAY.

(Whoa! Roll over!)

LEAVE IT, LEAVE IT, LEAVE IT, LEAVE IT,
IT'S GONNAWAY, YEH.

COME ON, BABY, DON'T BE LATE,
I WANNA HELP YOU TO CELEBRATE.
COME ON, LEAVE YOUR WORLD BEHIND,
LEAVE IT, LEAVE IT, LEAVE IT, LEAVE IT,
LEAVE IT, LEAVE IT, LEAVE IT.
