YOU JUST LOVED THE LEAVIN' OUT OF ME
(Linda Hargrove)
Linda Hargrove - 1975
Tanya Tucker - 1976
Last night I swore this mornin' I would leave you
For leavin' me alone while you ran free
Last night I swore this mornin' I'd get even
By leavin' you when you came home to me
Last night I swore this mornin' I would hurt you
The way I felt that you were hurtin'me
But you came home with the morning light and baby, you loved me right
You just loved the leavin' out of me
You just loved the leavin' out of me
Oh, you showed me what I'd miss if I were free
Lyin' here in the light of dawn, all my thoughts of goin's gone
'Cause you just loved the leavin' out of me
You just loved the leavin' out of me
Oh, you showed me what I'd miss if I were free
Now I'm lyin' here in the light of dawn, with all my thoughts of goin's gone
'Cause you just loved the leavin' out of me
Baby, you just loved the leavin' out of me
