Don’t Leave Me This Way Thelma Houston (#1 in 1977)

Don’t leave me this way
I can’t survive, I can’t stay alive
Without you love, oh baby
Don’t leave me this way
I can’t exist, I will surely miss
Your tender kiss
So don’t leave me this way
 
Oh baby, my heart is full of love and desire for you
So come on down and do what you’ve got to do
You started this fire down in my soul
Now can’t you see it’s burning, out of control
So come down and satisfy the need in me
‘Cos only your good loving can set me free
 
Don’t leave me this way
I don’t understand how I’m at your command
So baby please don’t leave me this way
 
Don’t leave me this way, ‘Cos I can’t exist
I will surely miss your tender kiss
So don’t leave me this way
 
Oh baby, my heart is full of love and desire for you
So come on down and do what you’ve got to do
You started this fire down in my soul
Now can’t you see it’s burning, out of control
So come down and stisfy the need in me
‘Cos only your good loving can set me free
