I'm Leaving You Again Lyrics
New Edition
Lyrics
Girl, I'm leaving you again
Never thought I'd tell you when
I know how you must feel
But if your love's for real
You'd try to understand
That I'm a popular demand
When we first met, I told you how it would be
You said you understood and that you'd still keep loving me
Now it seems your changing your mind
Each and everytime
Now you wanted to be with me
You just wait and see
Because of today
It has to be this way, oh
Girl, I'm leaving you again
Never thought I'd tell you when
I know how you must feel
But if your love's for real
You'd try to understand
That I'm a popular demand
Girl, I wish that there was a way
For you and I to stay together
Forever everyday
Girl, I would give you all of my love
And place no one above
And girl, you want to be with me
You just wait and see
But as up to then it has to be this way, oh
Girl, I'm leaving you again
Never thought I'd tell you when
I know how you must feel
But if your love's for real
You'd try to understand
That I'm a popular demand
Oh girl, please tell me
Is there a way
For you and I to stay together
Forever everyday, oh oh oh
Please tell me
Will you still love me?
We gotta understand the way I live
'Cause that's the way it has to be
Shoop shoop doo wop
Means I'm never gonna give you up
Shoop shoop doo wop
Means I'm never gonna give you up
Shoop shoop doo wop
Means I'm never gonna give you up
